Answer:

b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve [tex]\frac{b}{3}[/tex] -2 = 2 we need to get b by itself and to do this, we use the order of operations. This is pedmas.

  1. Parentheses
  2. Exponents
  3. Division
  4. Multiplication
  5. Addition
  6. Subtraction

To solve for b, we need to use pedmas in the reverse order (so subtraction would undo first).

First, we need to add a 2 to both sides to undo the subtraction by 2.4

[tex]\frac{b}{3}[/tex] = 4

The next step is to multiply both sides by three so we undo the division.

b=12

This gives us b = 12 which is the solution to this problem.
