Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     4-2*(b-6)-(12)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (4 -  2 • (b - 6)) -  12  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   4 - 2b  =   -2 • (b - 2) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  -2 • (b - 2)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    -2   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    b-2 = 0 

 Add  2  to both sides of the equation : 
                      b = 2
