Answer:

i dont know what you neccesarily want but here are two answers b=-7/4 or -1 3/4 other answer is 12b+21

Explanation:

first, you have to set this question equal to 0.

7(2b+3)-2b=0

now you have to distribute the 7 to everything inside the parentheses.

14b+21-2b=0

combine like terms

12b+21=0

you can stop here and take this answer if this is the one you want

now subtract each side by 21

12b=-21

divide each side by 12

b=-21/12

simplify

b=-7/4

hope this helps! have a nice day :)
