Set up the equation: 3b-2=7. Solve for b: Subtract 2 from both sides: 3b=9. b=3.
I ask my 11 year old son. 2b + 18 = 4b Subtract 2b form each side: 18 = 2b Divide each side by 2: 9 = b which is the same as b = 9, but you knew that, didn't you?

To find 9 less than a number b, you would subtract 9 from b. Mathematically, this would be represented as b - 9. For example, if b = 15, then 9 less than b would be 15 - 9, which equals 6.
Subtract the remainder which is left when the digital root is divided by 9.

You can only add or subtract like terms. So, you subtract 9x from 2x, which gives you -7x. Then subtract -9 from 3 to get -6. And you are left with -7x -6.
