pleaseee helppp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.5b + 4 = 2(b + 2)

hero (hero):

0.5b + 4 = 2(b + 2) 0.5b + 4 = 2b + 4 0.5b = 2b 0 = 2b - 0.5b 0 = 1.5b 0/1.5 = b 0 = b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distribute the 2 within the parenthesis, then combine like terms. 0.5b+4 = 2b+4 Subtract 4 from both sides 0.5b = 2b Subtract 0.5b from both sides and you should have 0 = 1.5b Divide and solve :)
