Then get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4. 2−14(b−12)=9⇒4(2−14(b−12))=4(9)⇒4(2)−4(14)(b−12)=36⇒8−44(b−12)=36⇒8−(b−12)=36\displaystyle 2 - \frac{1}{4}(b-12) = 9 \\ \Rightarrow 4(2 - \frac{1}{4}(b-12)) = 4(9) \Rightarrow 4(2) - 4(\frac{1}{4})(b-12) = 36\\ \Rightarrow 8 - \frac{4}{4}(b-12) = 36 \Rightarrow 8 - (b-12) = 362−41(b−12)=9⇒4(2−41(b−12))=4(9)⇒4(2)−4(41)(b−12)=36⇒8−44(b−12)=36⇒8−(b−12)=36
