$\huge\bold{\gray{\sf{Answer:}}}$

Explanation:

Concept and general bases

The Question said 25 less than b equals to -8

it means b would be smaller than the number which is subtracted from b.

Why the b would be smaller than the number which is subtracted from it

Ans:- because on the R.H.S we see that the result is negative which would be only possible when there is a smaller number comes first in place of b and larger should be subtracted from it then that we can obtain negative value.

$b - 25 = - 8$

$= > b = - 8 + 25$

$\bold{= > b = 17}$

Check :-

$\bold{17-25=-8}$
