2 + 3b = -6 + 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.
2 + 3b + -2b = -6 + 2b + -2b

Combine like terms: 3b + -2b = 1b
2 + 1b = -6 + 2b + -2b

Combine like terms: 2b + -2b = 0
2 + 1b = -6 + 0
2 + 1b = -6

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + 1b = -6 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 1b = -6 + -2
1b = -6 + -2

Combine like terms: -6 + -2 = -8
1b = -8

Divide each side by '1'.
b = -8

Simplifying
b = -8
