In order to solve this equation for b, we need first to bring all terms with the variable b to one side of the equation and the terms without the variable to the other side:
[tex]\begin{gathered} b+2+6b-7=1+3b \\ b+6b-3b=1-2+7 \\ 4b=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, after adding the similar terms, we just need to divide both sides of the equation by the number multiplying the variable:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4b=6 \\ \frac{4b}{4}=\frac{6}{4} \\ b=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]So the value of b is 3/2
