solve for b.\n2(b - 3) = 4\nb =

solve for b.\n2(b - 3) = 4\nb =

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the left - hand side

$$2(b - 3)=2b-6$$ The equation becomes $2b - 6=4$.

Step2: Add 6 to both sides

$$2b-6 + 6=4 + 6$$ $$2b=10$$

Step3: Divide both sides by 2

$$\frac{2b}{2}=\frac{10}{2}$$ $$b = 5$$

Answer:

$5$
