Variable measured in the Ordinal scale

Step-by-step explanation:

An ordinal scale is a scale (of measurement) that uses labels to classify cases (measurements) into ordered classes. Note that an ordinal scale implies that the classes must be put into an order such that each case in one class is considered greater than (or less than) every case in another class as seen in the question.

-3(b-8)-5=9(b+2)+1

distribute

-3b+24-5=9b+18+1

add/ subtract

-3b+20=9b+19

20-19= 1

-3b+1=9b

9b+3b= 12b

1=12b

1 divided by 12 = 1/12

answer: 1/12 = b
