Answer:
1.) x = 4
2.) b = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) -8 - x = x - 4x (collect like terms)
-8 - x = -3x (add x on both sides)
-8 = -2x (divide by -2 on both sides)
4 = x
2.) -14 + 6b + 7 - 2b = 1 + 5b (collect like terms)
4b - 7 = 1 + 5b (subtract 4b on both sides)
-7 = 1 + b (subtract 1 on both sides)
-8 = b
