Full solution

Q. Solve for bb.\newline15b=14b+12-15b = -14b + 12\newlineb=b = ____
  1. Move 14b-14b to Left: First, we want to isolate the variable bb on one side of the equation. To do this, we will move 14b-14b from the right side to the left side by adding 14b14b to both sides of the equation.\newlineCalculation: 15b+14b=14b+12+14b-15b + 14b = -14b + 12 + 14b
  2. Combine Like Terms: Now, we simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms.\newlineCalculation: 15b+14b=14b+14b+12-15b + 14b = -14b + 14b + 12\newline1b=12-1b = 12
  3. Divide to Isolate bb: To solve for bb, we divide both sides of the equation by 1-1 to isolate bb.\newlineCalculation: 1b1=121\frac{-1b}{-1} = \frac{12}{-1}\newlineb = 12-12
