Answer:
b = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2b + -6 + 3b = 14
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 2b + 3b = 14
Combine like terms: 2b + 3b = 5b
-6 + 5b = 14
Solving
-6 + 5b = 14
Solving for variable 'b'.
Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + 5b = 14 + 6
Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 5b = 14 + 6
5b = 14 + 6
Combine like terms: 14 + 6 = 20
5b = 20
Divide each side by '5'.
b = 4
