Answer: 8

=========================================

b = 7 means we can replace b with 7

2*b = 2*7 = 14

2*b+10 = 14+10 = 24

Take 1/3 of this to get 8 as the final answer

Answer:8

Explanation:

First, substitute 7 into the equation for b:

1/3(2x7+10)

Now, simplify using the order of operations:

1/3(14+10)

Then:

1/3 (24)

And you arrive at your answer:

8
