The number b is -15

Here, we want to write an equation and solve it

We go step by step

Four times a number b

= 4 * b = 4b

is six times the sum of b and 5

The sum of b and 5 is b+ 5

six times this is = 6(b + 5)

Now euating the two, we have;

4b = 6(b + 5)

4b = 6b + 30

collect like terms

6b - 4b = -30

2b = -30

b = -30/2

b = -15
