Answer:
There are no solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
- [tex]\frac{1}{5}(15b) + \frac{1}{5}(-7) = 3b -9[/tex]
- [tex]3b -\frac{7}{5} = 3b - 9[/tex]
Step 2: Subtract 3b from both sides.
- [tex]3b - \frac{7}{5} - 3b = 3b - 9 - 3b[/tex]
- [tex]-\frac{7}{5} \neq -9[/tex]
Step 3: Add 7/5 to both sides.
- [tex]-\frac{7}{5} +\frac{7}{5}\neq -9 + \frac{7}{5}[/tex]
- [tex]0 \neq -\frac{38}{5}[/tex]
Therefore, there are no solutions to this equation.
