What is the solution to the equation 8-2b= -2/3(12b+6) ?
b =

So the answer would be b=-2. The steps of this is you would refine -2/3 (12b+6) to -4(2b+1) so then the equation would turn into 8-2b= -4 (2b+1). Then you would expand -4(2b+1) into -8b+4. So now the equation is 8-2b=-8b-4. Then you'd subtract 8 from both sides: 8-2b-8=-8b-4-8 which is -2b=-8b-12. Then you'd add 8b to each side. -2b+8b=-8b-12+8b that equals 6b=-12. Then you divide both sides by 6: 6b/6=-12/6. Then you get b= -2. Hope this helped.
