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#
