Step-by-step explanation:
3 - 2(b - 2) = 2 - 7b
To solve this first distribute -2 to (b - 2)
3 + (-2b + (-2) x -2) = 2 - 7b
when we simplify this it becomes:
3 + (-2b + 4) = 2 - 7b
We take (-2b + 4) out of the parenthesis:
3 - 2b + 4 = 2 - 7b
Now simplify again.
7 - 2b = 2 - 7b
Now send all the b's to one side and constants on the other.
7 - 2 = -7b +2b
5 = 5b
b = 1
