Answer:


\boxed {b = 4}

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
b:


2(4b - 6) = 4(3b - 7)

-Use Distributive Property:


2(4b - 6) = 4(3b - 7)


8b - 12 = 12b - 28

-Take
12b and subtract it from
8b:


8b - 12 - 12b = 12b - 12b - 28


-4b - 12 = -28

-Add
12 to both sides:


-4b - 12 + 12 = -28 + 12


-4b = -16

-Divide both sides by
-4:


(-4b)/(-4) = (-16)/(-4)


\boxed {b = 4}

So. therefore, the value of
b is
4.

Answer:

2(4b - 6) = 4(3b - 7)

This is

8b - 12 = 12b - 28

Now,

16 = 4b

This means that b = 4 :)
