1. 4b - 8 = 2b + 2

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate variable terms

Subtract $2b$ from both sides.
$4b - 8 - 2b = 2b + 2 - 2b$
$2b - 8 = 2$

Step2: Isolate the variable term

Add 8 to both sides.
$2b - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8$
$2b = 10$

Step3: Solve for b

Divide both sides by 2.
$\frac{2b}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$

Answer:

$b=5$
