Question

Solve -3(-8b+7)=3(2b-1)

Answer 1

b=1

Explanation:

You first need to multiply -3 and -8b. That will be 24b. Then you multiply -3 times 7. That will be -21. On the other side, you will multiply 3 times 2b which will equal 6b. Then you multiply 3 by -1. You will get -3. So at this point, the equation should look like this, 24b-21=6b-3. Then add 21 to both sides. You will have this equation, 24b=6b+18. Then subtract 6b from both sides, 18b=18. Finally, divide 18 from both sides to get your final answer of b=1.

Answer 2

Answer:
`b=1`

Explanation:

Given the equation
`-3(-8b+7)=3(2b-1)` you need to solve for the variable "b".

You need to apply Distributive property on both sides of the equation:

`-3(-8b+7)=3(2b-1)\\\\24b-21=6b-3`

Now you need to add 21 to both sides of the equation:

`24b-21+21=6b-3+21\\\\24b=6b+18`

Subtract
`6b` from both sides:

`24b-6b=6b+18-6b\\\\18b=18`

And finally, you can divide both sides of the equation by 18:

`(18b)/(18)=(18)/(18)\\\\b=1`
