Question Simplify the expression −b−26 Evaluate 2−b−2−4−22Apply the inverse property of addition −b−4−22Solution −b−26 Show Solution Find the roots b=−26 Evaluate 2−b−2−4−22To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0 2−b−2−4−22=0Since two opposites add up to 0,remove them form the expression −b−4−22=0Subtract the numbers −b−26=0Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign −b=0+26Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression −b=26Solution b=−26 Show Solution
