In order to solve this problem, you first need to combine like terms on each side of the equal sign. This will change your equation to $\"3b=7b\"$ . Then, you need to move all the b's over to one side of the equal sign. I am going to move 7b to the left side by subtracting 7b from both sides of the equation: $\"-4b=0\"$ . Then, you divide by -4 to get $\"b=0\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
