8 - 2b = 2/3(12b + 6)

Distribute 2/3 into the parenthesis, do you know how?

Answer 2

-2/3*

Answer 3

I think i solved this right, if i did, i got -2 for b

Answer 4

and no i dont know how to distribuate that :/

Answer 5

That's correct..

Answer 6

\(\sf 8 - 2b = -\dfrac{2}{3}(12b + 6)\)

Okay, first we distribute -2/3..we do that by multiplying it to every term inside the parenthesis.

\(\sf -\dfrac{2}{3} \times 12b = -8b\)

\(\sf -\dfrac{2}{3} \times 6 = -4\)

So we have:

\(\sf 8 - 2b = -8b - 4\)

Add 8b to both sides:

\(\sf 8 + 6b = -4\)

Subtract 8 to both sides:

\(\sf 6b = -12\)

Divide 6 to both sides:

\(\sf b = -2\)
