Write Equation: Write down the given equation.4b+5=1+5b
Isolate b: Move all terms containing b to one side and constant terms to the other side to isolate b. Subtract 4b from both sides to get: 4b+5−4b=1+5b−4b
Simplify Equation: Simplify both sides of the equation. 5=1+b
Subtract 1: Subtract 1 from both sides to solve for b.5−1=1+b−1
Find b: Simplify both sides of the equation to find the value of b.4=b
