First you just do normal subtraction and get 8.76 and since your solving for b 8.76=b

8.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

15.00 + - 6.24 = b

Combine like terms: 15.00 + - 6.24 = 8.76

8.76 = b

Solving

8.76 = b

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1b' to each side of the equation.

8.76 + - 1b = b + - 1b

Combine like terms: b + - 1b = 0

8.76 + - 1b = 0

Add '-8.76' to each side of the equation.

8.76 + - 8.76 + - 1b = 0 + - 8.76

Combine like terms: 8.76 + - 8.76 = 0.00

0.00 + - 1b = 0 + - 8.76

-1b = 0 + - 8.76

Combine like terms: 0 + - 8.76 = - 8.76

-1b = - 8.76

Divide each side by '-1'.

b = 8.76

Simplifying

b = 8.76
