Question

What is the solution to the linear equation?

4b + 6 = 2 – b + 4

Answer 1

b = 0

Explanation:

Subtract 6 from both sides:

4b = 2 - b - 2

Subtract 2 from two, and get 0.

4b = -b

this means that the only possible case where the equation is satisfied is when b = 0, because -0 is 0, and 4x0 is still 0.
