Answer:
The value of b is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation,
[tex]3(b-4)+5b=44[/tex]
[tex]3b - 12 + 5b = 44[/tex] ( By distributive property )
[tex]8b - 12 = 44[/tex] ( combining like terms )
[tex]8b = 44+12[/tex] ( Additive property of equality )
[tex]8b = 56[/tex]
[tex]\implies b = 7[/tex] ( Division property of equality )
