Answer: Equation: 8=4b b=2 Explanation: The green line equals 8 and the black time equals 2b+2b. So to form an equation where the green line equals the black line it would look like: 8=2b+2b 8 being the green line 2b+2b being the black line Then the directions tell us to combine like terms, like terms are terms that are the same such as 2b in this problem, and to combine them means to add them together. So, 2b+2b= 4b So the answer is, 8= 4b
In order to solve this equation divide both sides by 4. Which leaves you with: 8/4= b Now solve 8/4: Which gives you: b=2
