b%2B6=4-b Start with the given equation



b=4-b-6Subtract 6 from both sides


b%2Bb=4-6 Add b to both sides


2b=4-6 Combine like terms on the left side


2b=-2 Combine like terms on the right side


b=%28-2%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate b



b=-1 Divide

b+6 = 4-b
b+6+b = 4-b+b
2b+6 = 4
2b+6-6 = 4-6
2b = -2
b = -1
