Question

8(b+1)+4=3(2b-8) i dont lnow what this is please help.

Answer 1

distribute the 8 to whatever is in the parentheses. So 8b+8+4. Same on the other side 6b-24. So 8b+12=6b-24. Subtract 6b on both sides. Subtract 12 on both sides. You get 2b=-36. Divide both sides by 2. b=-18

Answer 2

Be certain to copy down the instructions. I'd bet the instructions ask you to solve the given equation for the value of b.

Multiplying as indicated:

8b + 8 + 4 = 6b - 24
Combining like terms: 2b = -36. solving for b, b=-18. You should check this answer to ensure that it makes the original equation true.
