Question 547995
{{{4b-12=8b+3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4b=8b+3+12}}} Add {{{12}}} to both sides.



{{{4b-8b=3+12}}} Subtract {{{8b}}} from both sides.



{{{-4b=3+12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4b=15}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{b=(15)/(-4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-4}}} to isolate {{{b}}}.



{{{b=-15/4}}} Reduce.
