It doesn't \"say\" to solve for b, but that's the only variable in the equation, so solve actually means, \"solve for b.\"
\n" );
document.write( "You already have the variable (b) on the left side and the constants on the right, so COMBINE like-terms on each side and solve for b. 
\n" );
document.write( "You can check after to make sure your solution is correct. In other words, the value for b satisfies or makes the equation TRUE. \n" );
