For what value of the variable will the expression 8b−27 be equal to the following:
5

We need to find the value of b to make 8b - 27 be equal to 5, so:

8b - 27 = 5

We solve the equation:

8b = 5 + 27

8b = 32

We divide both sides by 8:

b = 32/8 = 4

So now, we know that b=4, and we can verify:

8*4 - 27 = 5

32 - 27 = 5 TRUE
