Answer
b=16
↓Steps Explained:↓

Solve for b
b + b + 3 = 35
Group the b terms on the left:
(1 + 1)b = 2b
Form modified equation
2b + 3 = + 35
Group constants
Group our constants 3 and 35.
subtract 3 from both sides
2b + 3 - 3 = 35 - 3
Cancel 3 on the left side:
2b = 32
Divide each side of the equation by 2
b = 16
Final Answer
b=16
