Question

If 6(2b-4) = 0, then b=?

Answer 1

b=2

Explanation:

We fist of all open the brackets.

6(2b-4) =0

= 12b-24=0

Then we combine like terms

( whenever a sign crosses over an equal to sign it changes)

12b = 0+24

12b=24

Divide by co-efficient of b which is 12

12b = 24

12 12

b=2

Answer 2

• 
  `\sf b=2`

Explanation:

`\sf 6(2b-4)=0`

Divide both sides by 6.

(Anything divide by zero will give you zero, and anything plus zero gives itself)

`\sf 2b - 4=0`

Add 4 to both sides.

`\sf 2b = 4`

Divide both sides by 2.

`\sf \cfrac{2b}{2}=\cfrac{4}{2}`

`\sf b = 2`
