Expanding the equation:
(x + b) + (x + 2b) - (x - 3b) = 8b
x + b + x + 2b - x + 3b = 8b
Combine like terms:
2x + 6b = 8b
Subtract 6b from both sides:
2x = 2b
Divide by 2:
x = b
Therefore, the equation simplifies to b = 8b.
Expanding the equation:
(x + b) + (x + 2b) - (x - 3b) = 8b
x + b + x + 2b - x + 3b = 8b
Combine like terms:
2x + 6b = 8b
Subtract 6b from both sides:
2x = 2b
Divide by 2:
x = b
Therefore, the equation simplifies to b = 8b.
