You could subtract 2/3 from each side, and the statement [ b = 4/3 ] would mystically appear on the paper before your wondering eyes. If your mission had been to find the value of 'b', then you'd be done.
if you want to find b here is the answer :
b=2-2/3
b=4/3
To solve for b in the equation b + 3 2 = 2 , subtract 3 2 from both sides. This results in b = 3 4 .
