Please help solve for \( b \).

\[ 6b - 49 = 2(b - 3) \]

You always start by simplifying. 6b-49=2 ( b-3) becomes 6b-49=2b-6 From there you can group the b's together by subtracting 2b from both sides, leaving you with 4b-49=-6 Now you can get the b's alone by adding 49 (to cancel out -49) to both sides, giving you 4b=43, You're still trying to get b by itself, so what you'll do is divide both sides by 4, giving you b=10.75

6 b − 49 = 2 ( b − 3 ) 6 b − 49 = 2 b − 6 4 b = 43 b = 4 43 ​

To solve the equation 6 b − 49 = 2 ( b − 3 ) , first distribute the right-hand side, then arrange the equation to isolate b . After simplifying, you find that b = 10.75 .
