									6b-14 = 4 is now a linear equation which you can solve by balancing or inverse operation

									First to get rid of the brackets you must multiply everything outside the brackets by everything inside. So 2(3b-7) becomes 6b - 14.

									sorry 6b = 18!

									6b = 16 therefore b = 3
