To solve for \( b \) in the equation \( 6b - 11 = -23 \), follow these steps:
1. Add 11 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term involving \( b \) on one side:
\( 6b - 11 + 11 = -23 + 11 \)
This simplifies to:
\( 6b = -12 \)
2. Now divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for \( b \):
\( \frac{6b}{6} = \frac{-12}{6} \)
This simplifies to:
\( b = -2 \)
Thus, the solution for \( b \) is \( b = -2 \).
