Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

-6 = b8

Step 2: Solve for b

  1. Rewrite:                                 -6 = 8b
  2. Divide 8 on both sides:        -6/8 = b
  3. Rewrite:                                 b = -6/8
  4. [Fraction] Simplify:                b = -3/4

Step 3: Check

Plug in b into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

  1. Substitute in b:                     -6 = (-3/4)8
  2. Multiply:                                -6 = -24/4
  3. Divide:                                  -6 = -6

Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.

∴ b = -3/4 is the solution to the equation.
