We have to first distribute the 4. This means that we multiply 4 to each individual term in the parentheses and we keep the + sign.
So, it is like this:
4(x+2) = 4*x + 4*2 = 4x + 8.
Now, we have 4x + 8 = 6 + 4b.
Uh oh, we have two variables -- x & b. We cannot really do anything else to solve this equation!
