First, let's write it like this:
3a+2b=8
Subtract 2b from both sides.
3a+2b-2b=8-2b
3a=8-2b
Divide both sides by 3.
\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{8-2b}{3}
a=\frac{8-2b}{3}

Now that we know what's the value of a, let's find the value of b
3\cdot \frac{8-2b}{3}+2b=8
Let's take the first part.
3\cdot \frac{8-2b}{3}
Multiply the fractions.
=\frac{\left(8-2b\right)\cdot \:3}{3}
Cancel the common factor, which is 3.
=8-2b
We would be left with.
=8-2b+2b
Add like terms.
=8
We would be left with.
8=8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
8-8=8-8
0=0

This tells us that b can be any number. 

Let me know if you need any help!
Thanks!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring an expression is the process of undoing the multiplication.

Assume you have a function f(x):

f(x)=x^2+2x-48

This can be factored:

f(x)=(x+8)(x-6)

Using multiplication and the distributive property, you arrive back to:

f(x)=x^2+2x-48

Then you can see clearly that all we've done is reverse the multiplication.
