2(b+y)=b

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

Simplifying
2(b + y) = b
(b * 2 + y * 2) = b
(2b + 2y) = b

Solving
2b + 2y = b

Solving for variable 'b'.

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

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

Combine like terms: 2b + -1b = 1b
1b + 2y = b + -1b

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

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
1b + 2y + -2y = 0 + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
1b + 0 = 0 + -2y
1b = 0 + -2y
Remove the zero:
1b = -2y

Divide each side by '1'.
b = -2y

Simplifying
b = -2y
