Question

$$14+6b+7-2b=1+5b$$

Solve for b

$b=20$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $14$ and $7$ to get $21$.

$$21+6b-2b=1+5b$$

Combine $6b$ and $-2b$ to get $4b$.

$$21+4b=1+5b$$

Subtract $5b$ from both sides.

$$21+4b-5b=1$$

Combine $4b$ and $-5b$ to get $-b$.

$$21-b=1$$

Subtract $21$ from both sides.

$$-b=1-21$$

Subtract $21$ from $1$ to get $-20$.

$$-b=-20$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$b=20$$
