Answer:
[tex]b = - 53[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-(b + 79) = -26 \\ - b - 79 = - 26 \\ - b = 79 - 26 \\ - b = 53 \\ b = - 53[/tex]
b = -50
so first were gonna put the - sign to both b and 79 giving us:
-b -79 = -29
then we add 79 to both sides and get 50
-b = 50
then you divide by negative
-(-50 +79) = -26
