Question

$$7b+1=5b+5$$

Solve for b

$b=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $5b$ from both sides.

$$7b+1-5b=5$$

Combine $7b$ and $-5b$ to get $2b$.

$$2b+1=5$$

Subtract $1$ from both sides.

$$2b=5-1$$

Subtract $1$ from $5$ to get $4$.

$$2b=4$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$b=\frac{4}{2}$$

Divide $4$ by $2$ to get $2$.

$$b=2$$
