How to solve 3 - b = 9 - 3b

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$3-b=9-3b$$

Solve for b

$b=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $3b$ to both sides.

$$3-b+3b=9$$

Combine $-b$ and $3b$ to get $2b$.

$$3+2b=9$$

Subtract $3$ from both sides.

$$2b=9-3$$

Subtract $3$ from $9$ to get $6$.

$$2b=6$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$b=\frac{6}{2}$$

Divide $6$ by $2$ to get $3$.

$$b=3$$
