Quizzma Team · Answer

To solve for ( b ) in the equation ( -27 = -2 + 5b ), follow these steps:

1. Isolate the term with ( b ): Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

[

-27 + 2 = 5b

]

This simplifies to:

[

-25 = 5b

]

2. Divide both sides by 5 to solve for ( b ):

[

b = frac{-25}{5} = -5

]

So the correct answer is A) -5.
