Answer:
4b + 2 = 3b = -2
5x-2=3x+4 = 3
Explanation:
Simplifying
4b + 2 = 3b
Reorder the terms:
2 + 4b = 3b
Solving
2 + 4b = 3b
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3b' to each side of the equation.
2 + 4b + -3b = 3b + -3b
Combine like terms: 4b + -3b = 1b
2 + 1b = 3b + -3b
Combine like terms: 3b + -3b = 0
2 + 1b = 0
Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + 1b = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 1b = 0 + -2
1b = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
1b = -2
Divide each side by '1'.
b = -2
Simplifying
b = -2

Simplifying
5x + -2 = 3x + 4
Reorder the terms:
-2 + 5x = 3x + 4
Reorder the terms:
-2 + 5x = 4 + 3x
Solving
-2 + 5x = 4 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 5x + -3x = 4 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x
-2 + 2x = 4 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
-2 + 2x = 4 + 0
-2 + 2x = 4
Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + 2 + 2x = 4 + 2
Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + 2x = 4 + 2
2x = 4 + 2
Combine like terms: 4 + 2 = 6
2x = 6
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 3
Simplifying
x = 3
