Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation, we can start by distributing the 4 on the right side:

-3b + 16 = 4b - 12

Next, let's combine like terms on both sides by subtracting 4b from both sides:

-3b - 4b + 16 = -12

-7b + 16 = -12

Now, let's isolate the variable by subtracting 16 from both sides:

-7b = -12 - 16

-7b = -28

Finally, divide both sides by -7 to solve for b:

b = -28 / -7

b = 4

Therefore, the value of b that satisfies the equation is 4.
