Solving for $b$ gives us $14$

So to solve this, we need to distribute the 2 on the right side of the equal sign before starting to solve for $b$ .

So doing the distributive property gives us:

$46=2b+18$

Now, we subtract 18 from both sides which gives us:

$28=2b$

Now we divide both sides by $2$ which gives us: $b=14$
