Question

9. 2b - 6 + 3b = 14 Solve

Answer 1

Answer:

b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2b + -6 + 3b = 14

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 2b + 3b = 14

Combine like terms: 2b + 3b = 5b

-6 + 5b = 14

Solving

-6 + 5b = 14

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 5b = 14 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 5b = 14 + 6

5b = 14 + 6

Combine like terms: 14 + 6 = 20

5b = 20

Divide each side by '5'.

b = 4
