I do not understand what you are asking but I am going to assume that you are trying to simplify the equation.

First, write the equation.

(4/3)b + 2 = 4 - (1/3)b

Add (1/3)b to each side.

(5/3)b + 2 = 4

Subtract 2 on each side.

(5/3)b = 2

Divide by (5/3) on each side

b = 1.2

b = 1.2 is your final answer.

For this case we have the following equation:


\frac {4} {3} b + 2 = 4- \frac {1} {3} b

Subtracting 2 from both sides we have:


\frac {4} {3} b = 4- \frac {1} {3} b-2

We add similar terms from the right side of the equation:


\frac {4} {3} b = 2- \frac {1} {3} b

Adding
\frac {1} {3} b to both sides:


\frac {4} {3} b + \frac {1} {3} b = 2\\\frac {4 + 1} {3} b = 2\\\frac {5} {3} b = 2

Multiplying by 3 on both sides:


5b = 3 * 2\\5b = 6

Dividing between 5 on both sides:


b = \frac {6} {5}

Answer:


b = \frac {6} {5} = 1.2
