3b-13%2B4b=7b%2B1 Start with the given equation



7b-13=7b%2B1 Combine like terms on the left side


7b=7b%2B1%2B13Add 13 to both sides


7b-7b=1%2B13 Subtract 7b from both sides


0b=1%2B13 Combine like terms on the left side


0b=14 Combine like terms on the right side


0=14 Simplify

Since this equation is never true for any b value, this means there are no solutions.
