Question

What is the solution to the linear equation 4b + 6 = 2 - b+ 4

Answer 1

Final Answer: $b = 0$

Steps/Reasons/Explanation:

Question: What is the solution to the linear equation $4b + 6 = 2 - b + 4$?

Step 1: Simplify $2 - b + 4$ to $6 - b$.

$4b + 6 = 6 - b$

Step 2: Cancel $6$ on both sides.

$4b = -b$

Step 3: Subtract $-b$ from both sides.

$4b + b = 0$

Step 4: Simplify $4b + b$ to $5b$.

$5b = 0$

Step 5: Divide both sides by $5$.

$b = 0$

Answer 2

Answer:

b = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

(Combine like terms):              4b + 6 = 2 - b + 4  

                                                 4b + 6 = 6 - b    

(Use Addition property of

equality to add b):                    4b + b + 6 = 6

                                                  5b + 6 = 6

(Use Subtraction property of

equality to subtract 6):               5b + 6 - 6 = 6 - 6

                                                           5b = 0

(Divide both sides by 5):           5b = 0

                                                     5     5

b = 0
