Solving for #b# gives us #14#

So to solve this, we need to distribute the 2 on the right side of the equal sign before starting to solve for #b#.

So doing the distributive property gives us:

#46=2b+18#

Now, we subtract 18 from both sides which gives us:

#28=2b#

Now we divide both sides by #2# which gives us: #b=14#
