b=-1/4

Explanation:

We want to isolate (solve for) b, so we can divide both sides by -44. We get:

b=-11/44, which can be simplified as:

b=-1/4 (as a result of dividing the numerator/denominator by 11)

in order to solve this we take the numbers on one side and the alphabets on the other side

Explanation:

so for -44b=11 we will take the -44 on the side of 11 .

And we also know that -44 is multiplying with b so if we take it on the other side of equality it will divide with that number.

so -44b=11 will be

b=-44/11

and we know that 11 is 4 times equal to 44 so the valuw of b will be -4

b=-4
