Solve for b in the equation –b + 21 = –13. a. b = 9 b. b = –9 c. b = 34 d. b = –34

C. b = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-b+21= -13

To solve this type of equations that only involve one variable, we have to isolate the variable at on side of the equation. So, for the given equation

We will subtract 21 from both sides

-b+21-21=-13-21

-b= -34

As the minus sign is on both sides of the equation, it will be cancelled and

b=34

So, option C is the correct answer ..
