Question

2(b - 4) = 20 HELP AGAIN LOL IDK WHAT IT IS

Answer 1

Answer: $b=14$

Simplify both sides of the equation

$(2)(b)+(2)(-4)=20(Distribute)\\2b+-8=20$

Add 8 to both sides

$2b-8+8=20+8\\2b=28$

Divide both sides by 2

$2b/2=28/2\\b=14$

Answer 2

Answer:

$b = 14$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(b - 4) = 20 \\ 2b - 8 = 20 \\ 2b = 20 + 8 \\ 2b = 28 \\ \frac{2b}{2} = \frac{28}{2} \\ b = 14$
