Answer:
1 b=1
There are no solutions.
x=−4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
13+3b=4(1+3b)
13+3b=(4)(1)+(4)(3b)(Distribute) 13+3b=4+12b
3b+13=12b+4
Step 2: Subtract 12b from both sides.
3b+13−12b=12b+4−12b
−9b+13=4
Step 3: Subtract 13 from both sides.
−9b+13−13=4−13
−9b=−9
Step 4: Divide both sides by -9.
−9b
−9
=
−9
−9
b=1
