Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We start with the equation 15b=6015b = -60.
2. We want to find the quantity that equals 5b5b.

STEP 2

To isolate bb in the equation 15b=6015b = -60, we need to divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of bb which is 15.
15b15=6015\frac{15b}{15} = \frac{-60}{15}

STEP 3

Perform the division to simplify the equation.
b=4b = -4

STEP 4

Now that we have the value of bb, we can find the quantity that equals 5b5b by multiplying bb by 5.
5b=5×b5b = 5 \times b

STEP 5

Plug in the value of bb into the equation to find 5b5b.
5b=5×45b = 5 \times -4

STEP 6

Calculate the value of 5b5b.
5b=205b = -20
The quantity that equals 5b5b is 20-20. To find this quantity, we divided 60-60 by 33. (Type the whole number 3.)
