116=8b+6 (b+3)

I think the answer is B = 7

b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

So first I'm going to rewrite the equation to 6 (b+3) + 8b = 116.

Taking the first part 6 (b+3), we see that that is equal to 6 * b + 6 * 3.

So that will be 6b + 18.

Let's bring put it back together. 6b + 18 + 8b = 116. We can now combine the terms since they both have 'b'.

(6b + 8b) + 18 = 116 = 14b + 18 = 116.

Now lets isolate our variable. To do that we need to get rid of our 18 so lets subtract it from both sides.

(116 - 18 = 98)

14b = 98

Now lets divide both sides by 14.

14b/14 = 98/14 = b = 7

b = 7
