16-2b-b=10-b+4-b
Add 10 and 6 to get 16.
16-3b=10-b+4-b
Combine -2b and -b to get -3b.
16-3b=14-b-b
Add 10 and 4 to get 14.
16-3b=14-2b
Combine -b and -b to get -2b.
16-3b+2b=14
Add 2b to both sides.
16-b=14
Combine -3b and 2b to get -b.
-b=14-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
-b=-2
Subtract 16 from 14 to get -2.
b=2
Multiply both sides by -1.
