To solve for "b", you need to isolate/get the variable "b" by itself in the equation:
[tex]\frac{4b+8}{2}= 10[/tex] First multiply 2 on both sides to get rid of the fraction
[tex]2(\frac{4b+8}{2} )=10(2)[/tex]
4b + 8 = 20 Subtract 8 on both sides
4b + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8
4b = 12 Divide 4 on both sides to get "b" by itself
[tex]\frac{4b}{4}=\frac{12}{4}[/tex]
b = 3 [answers are bolded]
