Answer:
b=72

Step-by-step explanation:
1/3(b+6)=1/4b+8
Distribute 1/3 into the parentheses
1/3b+2=1/4b+8
Move like terms to either side
1/3b-1/4b=8-2
1/12b=6
Divide both sides by 1/12 to isolate b
b=6/ 1/12
Dividing a fraction is the same thing as multiplying its flip
b=6(12)
b=72

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.
