Solve 2(b - 4) - 12 = 4

Evaluate

2 (b - 4) - 12 = 4

Move the expression to the left side

2 (b - 4) - 12 - 4 = 0

Subtract the numbers

2 (b - 4) - 16 = 0

Calculate

More Steps

2 b - 24 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

2 b = 0 + 24

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

2 b = 24

Divide both sides

\frac{2 b}{2} = \frac{24}{2}

Divide the numbers

b = \frac{24}{2}
