therefore b=0

Explanation:

2( 6+ 4b ) + 3b = 7b - 4( b - 3)

Use distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac to open the brackets:

=> 12+8b + 3b = 7b - 4b+ 12

Take all terms with variable b on left hand side and rest of the terms on right hand side of the equation applying rules of transposition:

=> 8b + 3b + 4b - 7b = +12-12

=> 8b = 0

therefore b=0
