Solve for b:

6b+14 = -7-b

b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6b+14=−7−b

6b+14=−7+−b

6b+14=−b−7

Step 2: Add b to both sides.

6b+14+b=−b−7+b

7b+14=−7

Step 3: Subtract 14 from both sides.

7b+14−14=−7−14

7b=−21

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7.

b= -3
