(2)=(2)(b+(1))

Solution for (2)=(2)(b+(1)) equation:

Simplifying
(2) = (2)(b + (1))
2 = (2)(b + (1))
2 = 2(b + 1)

Reorder the terms:
2 = 2(1 + b)
2 = (1 * 2 + b * 2)
2 = (2 + 2b)

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 = 2 + -2 + 2b

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 = 2 + -2 + 2b

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 = 0 + 2b
0 = 2b

Solving
0 = 2b

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2b' to each side of the equation.
0 + -2b = 2b + -2b
Remove the zero:
-2b = 2b + -2b

Combine like terms: 2b + -2b = 0
-2b = 0

Divide each side by '-2'.
b = 0

Simplifying
b = 0
