Ramon Valentine · Answer 2

7

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of b is 7.

6b+6=48

Carry over the 6 and make b the subject.

6b = 48-6

6b = 42

b = 42/6

b = 7

Therefore b=7

To find out if the answer is correct, replace the b with the value of what it is in brackets. Remember brackets mean to multiply.

6 (7) + 6 = 48

42+6 = 48

Therefore b=7 and the answer is correct.
