Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

8b - 12 = 5b

Step 2: Solve for b

Subtract 5b on both sides: 3b - 12 = 0
Add 12 on both sides: 3b = 12
Divide 3 on both sides: b = 4

Step 3: Check

Plug in b to verify it's a solution.

Substitute: 8(4) - 12 = 5(4)
Multiply: 32 - 12 = 20
Subtract: 20 = 20

And we have our final answer!
