Question

Please help! Will fan and medal :)
What is the solution to the equation 8 - 2b = -2/3(12b + 6)? b =

Answer 1

Ok so first you need to distribute -2/3 to everything on the right side. So first do -2/3*12b

Answer 2

@hockeychick23 -8?

Answer 3

yes -8b, now we do -2/3*6

Answer 4

@hockeychick23 sorry if it takes long my computer is lagging :p
-4?

Answer 5

yep -4. so now we have -8b-4=8-2b so now we add 8b to both sides, so we have:
8b-8b-4=8+8b-2b. so now add like terms

Answer 6

I'm sorry can you "dumb it down" a bit, I'm really bad at math...

Answer 7

ok, so first what's 8b-8b

Answer 8

0

Answer 9

correct, so we got rid of b on the left side. So now what is 8b-2b?

Answer 10

6b?

Answer 11

correct, so now we have -4= 6b+8. So now we subtract 8 from both sides so what is -8-4?

Answer 12

@hockeychick23 -12? Again, sorry if it takes long :p

Answer 13

its cool and correct so we have -12= 6b. So now we divide on both sides so we have:
-12/6= ?

Answer 14

-2?

Answer 15

correct, b=-2
