[INST] The equations 2x+7=3 and bx-10=-2 have the same solution x. What is the value of b?/n [/INST]  ###Response: First, we solve the equation 2x + 7 = 3 to find that x = -2.

Then, we substitute x = -2 into the equation bx - 10 = -2 and simplify:

-2 = bx - 10 = -2b - 10

Solving for b, we get:

2b = -8

b = -4.
