All you need to do to simplify this expression is combine the like terms.

First, let's rearrange the terms. In this case, we will put the variables together and the constants together.
4b+b+9

Now, we combine the variables. In this case,
b doesn't have a coefficient, so we can assume it is
1.
4b+1b+9

Add
4+1.

Answer:

5b + 9

You are essentially trying to simplify the expression given to you. To do so, combine terms with like terms:

4b + 9 + b

In this case, combine all terms with the same amount of variables, b.
