First lets expand it Next lets simplify 27 - 12 + 2b and make it into 2b + 15 Next subtract 15 from both sides Next subtract 96 - b - 15 and make it into 81 - b Next add b to both sides Next add b + 2b and make it into 3b Then divide both sides by 3 And lastly reduce the fraction 81/3 to get the answer.
