Solve 12-9b+15-5b=14-8b+6

$$12 - 9 b + 15 - 5 b = 14 - 8 b + 6$$

Solve for b

$$b = \frac{7}{6} = 1\frac{1}{6} \approx 1.166666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 12 and 15 to get 27.

$$27-9b-5b=14-8b+6$$

Combine -9b and -5b to get -14b.

$$27-14b=14-8b+6$$

Add 14 and 6 to get 20.

$$27-14b=20-8b$$

Add 8b to both sides.

$$27-14b+8b=20$$

Combine -14b and 8b to get -6b.

$$27-6b=20$$

Subtract 27 from both sides.

$$-6b=20-27$$

Subtract 27 from 20 to get -7.

$$-6b=-7$$

Divide both sides by -6.

$$b=\frac{-7}{-6}$$

Fraction \frac{-7}{-6} can be simplified to \frac{7}{6} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$b=\frac{7}{6}$$
