    Yes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It is indeed. This simplifies the equation. What you have to remember about solving equations is whatever you do to one side you have to do the same to the other side. This maintains the 'balance'.

    Dividing by 5 gives b - 2 = 4

    so b = 6.

The factor theorem of algebra states that if a polynomial, P (x), is divided by x-a, then the remainder is P (a). Verify the remainder theorem by showing that when x^2-2x-16 is divided by x+3 the remainder is the same as P (-3).
