Explanation:
To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by - 10
#cancel(-10)xx(-8b+9)/cancel(-10)=(-10xx17)#
#rArr -8b+9=-170# subtract 9 from both sides.
#-8bcancel(+9)cancel(-9)=-170-9#
#rArr-8b=-179# To solve for b, divide both sides by - 8
#(cancel(-8) b)/cancel(-8)=(-179)/(-8)#
#rArrb=179/8" is the solution"#
