4%282b-6%29%2B11=8b-13 Start with the given equation.


8b-24%2B11=8b-13 Distribute.


8b-13=8b-13 Combine like terms on the left side.


8b=8b-13%2B13 Add 13 to both sides.


8b-8b=-13%2B13 Subtract 8b from both sides.


0b=-13%2B13 Combine like terms on the left side.


0b=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=0 Simplify.


Since this equation is always true for any b value, this means b can equal any number.

So there are an infinite number of solutions.
