Since the two fractions have a common denominator already, we can just subtract the numerators.
b-3b=-2b or -3b+b=-2b
Either way you get the same answer :)
Our new fraction is

Now we know that this must be equal to

Again, since the denominators are already the same of course they are equal. 13=13
Now we have to set the numerators equal
-2b=8
Use inverse operations to get b alone
-2b=8
÷-2 ÷-2
b=-4

Answer: Steve's bedroom has the greater area.
Step-by-step explanation: The formula for area is Area = Length x Width.
So all you have to do to figure this out is multiply the Width of the rooms by the length.
So Steve's room is 12ft X 13ft = 156ft
Ricardo's room is 8ft X 14ft = 112ft
156ft > 112ft
Steve's room has a greater area.
