3%285b-11%29=6-2b Start with the given equation.


15b-33=6-2b Distribute.


15b=6-2b%2B33 Add 33 to both sides.


15b%2B2b=6%2B33 Add 2b to both sides.


17b=6%2B33 Combine like terms on the left side.


17b=39 Combine like terms on the right side.


b=%2839%29%2F%2817%29 Divide both sides by 17 to isolate b.
