The best plan for that particular equation would be to first subtract 15
from each side, and then apply the quadratic formula.

4b + 3 = 15 First, Subtract 3 from both sides. -3 -3 4b = 12 Then, divide by 4 to get b by itself. 4 4 b = 3
-86
5b = 21 + 4b 5b - 4b = 21 + 4b - 4b b = 21
2a-6a-a=b+4b-4b -5a=5b-4b -5a=1b a=-5 b=1
there is a sign missing -- if 4b +15 = 7b then 3b = 15 and b thus = 5 if 4b - 15 = 7b then 3b = -15 and b = -5
