Question

Evaluate the equation. 3(b + 8) - 4 = 35

Answer 1

Answer:

b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(b + 8) - 4 = 35

3(b + 8) = 35 + 4

3(b + 8) = 39

3b + 24 = 39

3b = 39 - 24

3b = 15

b = 15/3

b = 5

Answer 2

We are given the equation

    $3(b-8)-4=35$

⇒ $3(b-8)=39$

⇒ $b-8=13$

⇒  $b=21$

∴ $b=21$
