Answer:

The value of x in terms of b is (-3/b)

The value of x when b is 3 is -1

===============================

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is :

-2 (bx - 5) = 16

Divide both sides by 2

bx - 5 = 16/(-2) = -8

Add 5 to both sides

bx = -8 + 5 = -3

Divide both sides by (b)

∴ x = -3/b

∴ The value of x in terms of b is (-3/b)

When b = 3 ⇒ ∴ x = -3/b = -3/3 = -1
