Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Subtract 18 from both sides

[tex]12 = 18 + 6b[/tex]

[tex]12 - 18 = 18 - 18 + 6b[/tex]

[tex]-6 = 6b[/tex]

Step 2:  Divide both sides by 6

[tex]-6 / 6 = 6b / 6[/tex]

[tex]-1 = b[/tex]

Answer: [tex]b = -1[/tex]

b=-1

when you subtract 18 to 12 you get -6 then divide 6 to get b by itself then you’ll get -1
