    You want to solve for "b", right?

    1/3 (b+6) = 1/4b+8 distribute 1/3 into the parenthesis

    1/3 b + 1/3*6 = 1/4 b + 8

    1/3 b + 2 = 1/4 b + 8 now combine like terms

    1/3 b - 1/4 b = 8-2

    1/12 b = 6 multiply both sides by 12

    b = 12*6 = 72

    Therefore: b = 72

    Distribute on the left side

    1/3b+2=1/4b+8

    Multiply all terms by 12 to eliminate fractions

    4b+24=3b+96

    Subtract 3b from both sides

    b+24=96

    Subtract 24 from both sides

    b=72

    Final answer: b=72
