Answer:
[tex]b=0.8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Subtract 2.7 from both sides.
[tex]-5.3-2.7=-\frac{b}{0.1}[/tex]
2) Simplify -5.3 - 2.7 to 8.
[tex]-8=-\frac{b}{0.1}[/tex]
3) Multiply both sides by 0.1.
[tex]-8[/tex] × [tex]0.1=-b[/tex]
4) Simplify - 8 × 0.1 to - 0.8.
[tex]-0.8=-b[/tex]
5) Multiply both sides by -1.
[tex]0.8=b[/tex]
6) Switch sides.
[tex]b=0.8[/tex]
