Question 209343
{{{2b+11=15-6b}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2b=15-6b-11}}} Subtract {{{11}}} from both sides.



{{{2b+6b=15-11}}} Add {{{6b}}} to both sides.



{{{8b=15-11}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{8b=4}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{b=(4)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{8}}} to isolate {{{b}}}.



{{{b=1/2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{b=1/2}}} which in decimal form is {{{b=0.5}}}.
