Solve for b 2b+7=b+10

$2 b + 7 = b + 10$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $b$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $b$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 b + 7 - b = 10$

Subtract $b$ from $2 b$ .

$b + 7 = 10$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $b$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $7$ from both sides of the equation.

$b = 10 - 7$

Subtract $7$ from $10$ .

$b = 3$
