Question

Solve for b.
26 – 6 = – 4​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since this is two step, our options are going to be limited.

Also, there are two ways of doing this.

WAY 1:

Add 6 on both sides;

26 – 6 = – 4​

+6 +6

Divide by two on both sides;

26/2 = 2/2

13 = 1

WAY 2:

Add 4 on both sides:

26 – 6 = – 4​

+4 +4

Subtract;

26 – 2 = 0

= 24
