8\times 6-15b=b
Add 2 and 4 to get 6.
48-15b=b
Multiply 8 and 6 to get 48.
48-15b-b=0
Subtract b from both sides.
48-16b=0
Combine -15b and -b to get -16b.
-16b=-48
Subtract 48 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
b=\frac{-48}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
b=3
Divide -48 by -16 to get 3.
