Question

2(b - 4) = 20

HELP AGAIN LOL IDK WHAT IT IS

Answer 1

Answer:
`b=14`

Simplify both sides of the equation

`(2)(b)+(2)(-4)=20(Distribute)\\2b+-8=20`

Add 8 to both sides

`2b-8+8=20+8\\2b=28`

Divide both sides by 2

`2b/2=28/2\\b=14`

Answer 2

`b = 14`

Explanation:

`2(b - 4) = 20 \\ 2b - 8 = 20 \\ 2b = 20 + 8 \\ 2b = 28 \\ (2b)/(2) = (28)/(2) \\ b = 14`
