Respuesta :

3b - 12 + 5b = 44

8b = 56

b = 7 (answer)

Answer:

The value of b is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

[tex]3(b-4)+5b=44[/tex]

[tex]3b - 12 + 5b = 44[/tex]  ( By distributive property )

[tex]8b - 12 = 44[/tex]          ( combining like terms )

[tex]8b = 44+12[/tex]            ( Additive property of equality )

[tex]8b = 56[/tex]          

[tex]\implies b = 7[/tex]       ( Division property of equality )
