Answer
Success!
b=375
↓Steps Explained:↓
Solve for b
8b + 1500 = 12b
Group variables
Group our variables 8b and 12b
subtract 12b from both sides
8b + 1500 - 12b = 12b - 12b
Cancel 12b on the right side:
-4b + 1500 = 0
Divide each side by 8
| 8b | |
| 8 |
| = |
| 1500 |
| 8 |
Group constants
Group our constants 1500 and 0.
subtract 1500 from both sides
-4b + 1500 - 1500 = 0 - 1500
Cancel 1500 on the left side:
-4b = -1500
Divide each side of the equation by -4
| -4b | |
| -4 |
| = |
| -1500 |
| -4 |
b = 375
