2(3b+6) =78

Expanding the left side of the equation:

6b + 12 = 78

Solving for b:

6b = 66

b = 11

Now we will check the left side and the right side of the equation:

2(3(11) + 6) = 2(33+6) = 2(39) = 78

On the other side of the equation:

-2(6c-3) = -72

Expanding the left side of the equation:

-12c + 6 = -72

Solving for c:

-12c = -78

c = 6.5

Now we will check the left side and the right side of the equation:

-2(6(6.5) - 3) = -2(39 -3) = -2(36) = -72

This equation is true, the left side of the equation equals to the right side of the equation.

The solution for the first equation is b = 11

The solution for the second equation is c = 6.5
