Question

How do you solve 22=5b+7(b-2) and what's the answer?

Answer 1

The answer is b=3
And to solve it, remove the parentheses, collect the terms, move the terms and calculate then divide both sides.

Answer 2

b=3

Explanation:

Step 1:

Expand

22=5b + 7b - 14

Step 2:

Simplify

22=12b - 14

Step 3:

add 14 to both sides

36= 12b

Step 4:

divide both sides by 12

36/12 = 12b/12

Step 5:

3 = b
