Simplifying
2 + -1b = 0

Solving
2 + -1b = 0

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

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

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

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

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