Equation: \(7b-3=-2b+24\)
When solving these type of equations, you have to get the variable on one side by "itself".
To start off, add 2b to both sides
\(7b+2b-3=-2b+2b+24\)
Now add 3 to both sides
\(9b-3+3=24+3\)
It is now \(9b=27\)
Now divide 27 by 9 (don't worry about the variable because you're dividing to FIND the variable value)
\(27\) ÷ \(9=3\)
Answer: \(b=3\)
