Explanation:

Answer:

and Solution:

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Start with the equation: \( 16 = 3b - 29 \)
2. Add 29 to both sides to isolate the term with \( b \):

\( 16 + 29 = 3b - 29 + 29 \)
Simplifies to: \( 45 = 3b \)

1. Divide both sides by 3 to solve for \( b \):

\( \frac{45}{3} = \frac{3b}{3} \)
Simplifies to: \( 15 = b \)
