Question 569248


{{{4(2b-6)+11=8b-13}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8b-24+11=8b-13}}} Distribute.



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



{{{8b=8b-13+13}}} Add {{{13}}} to both sides.



{{{8b-8b=-13+13}}} Subtract {{{8b}}} from both sides.



{{{0b=-13+13}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



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



{{{0=0}}} Simplify.



Since this equation is <font size=4><b>always</b></font> true for any b value, this means b can equal any number. 


So there are an infinite number of solutions.
