Full solution

Q. Solve for bb.\newline4b16=2b+18-4b - 16 = -2b + 18\newlineb=b = __
  1. Add 1616 to both sides: Now, we add 1616 to both sides to isolate the b term.\newline2b16+16=18+16-2b - 16 + 16 = 18 + 16\newline2b=34-2b = 34
  2. Divide by 2-2: Finally, we divide both sides by 2-2 to solve for bb.2b2=342\frac{-2b}{-2} = \frac{34}{-2}b=17b = -17
