51b%2B8%28-b%2B8%29=193 Start with the given equation.


51b-8b%2B64=193 Distribute.


43b%2B64=193 Combine like terms on the left side.


43b=193-64 Subtract 64 from both sides.


43b=129 Combine like terms on the right side.


b=%28129%29%2F%2843%29 Divide both sides by 43 to isolate b.


b=3 Reduce.
