#b=21#

Given that

#-3(4b+4)+(13b-9)=0#

#-12b-12+13b-9=0#

#b-21=0#

#b=21#

Answer 2 · 2018-07-06T00:29:45

#b=21#

We can distribute the #-3# to the #4b+4# term to get

#-12b-12+13b-9=0#

We can combine our like terms to get

#b-21=0#

Adding #21# to both sides, we get

#b=21#

Hope this helps!
