Question

Solve for b:
2b = 36

Answer 1

b = 18

Explanation:

1st step is isolating b by moving 2 to the other side. When you move a number the the other side it flips (from + to - or × to ÷). The 2 in this question is being multiplied my b (no sign means multiply) so when you move it to the other side it becomes 36/2 or 18

Steps:

2b=36

b=36/2

b=18

Answer 2

b=18

Explanation:

2b=36

Divide both sides by 2

b=36/2

then divide 36 by 2 to get 18

have a great day ^_^
