−11=−47−12b

To solve for b, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms:

-11 = -47 - 12b

Next, let's get rid of the constant -47 on the right side by adding 47 to both sides:

-11 + 47 = -47 + 47 - 12b
36 = -12b

Now, divide both sides by -12 to solve for b:

b = 36 / -12
b = -3

Therefore, the solution to the equation is b = -3.
