Question

B +2 +6b - 7 = 1 + 3b

Answer 1

In order to solve this equation for b, we need first to bring all terms with the variable b to one side of the equation and the terms without the variable to the other side:

`\begin{gathered} b+2+6b-7=1+3b \\ b+6b-3b=1-2+7 \\ 4b=6 \end{gathered}`

Then, after adding the similar terms, we just need to divide both sides of the equation by the number multiplying the variable:

`\begin{gathered} 4b=6 \\ (4b)/(4)=(6)/(4) \\ b=(6)/(4)=(3)/(2) \end{gathered}`

So the value of b is 3/2
