Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate parentheses using the distributive property.
3(b+4) -2(2b+3) = -4 . . . . given
3b +12 -4b -6 = -4 . . . . . parentheses eliminated
-b +6 = -4 . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
-b = -10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6
b = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1
_____
The rules of equality require that any operation you perform on one side of the equal sign must also be done on the other side. So when we say "subtract 6", we assume you know that means "subtract 6 from both sides of the equation", for example.

Complete question:
Joelwants to buy a new tablet computer from a store having a 20% off sale on all tablet. The tablet he wants has an original cost of $190. He also wants to make sure he has enough money to pay the 5% sales tax.
Answer:
$159.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Sales tax = 5%
Percentage discount = 20%
Original cost = $190
Joel's incorrect expression : 0.95(190)(0.8)
Joel's mistake is the 0.95 which is equivalent to 95% used in Calculating the total cost of the computer. The sales tax increases the total cost of the computer and instead of subtracting 5% sales tax, it should be added.
B.) 20% discount = 0.2 will be deducted from 100%(1)
1 - 0.2 = 0.8
5% sales tax = 0.05 will be added :
1 + 0.05 = 1.05
Original cost = $190
Therefore,
Total cost : Original cost * sales tax * discount
Total cost = $190 * 1.05 * 0.8
Total cost = $159.60
