[tex] - 12 + 3b - 1 = - 5 - b \\ \\ - 13 + 3b = - 5 - b \\ \\ - 8 = - 4b \\ \\ b = 2 [/tex]

First, add both sides by 5 and then subtract both sides by 3b

Answer:

The solution of the given linear equation is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-12+3b - 1 = -5 - b[/tex]

Step 1 :Take all the like terms on same side

[tex]-12+5 - 1 = - b- 3b[/tex]

Step 2 :

[tex]-8=-4b[/tex]

Step 3 :

[tex]b=\frac{-8}{-4}=2[/tex]

The solution of the given linear equation is 2.
