Answer:
b = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
a(7x+2)=bx+8
=> 7ax + 2a = bx + 8
in both the equation there is a term containing x and a term not containing x.
since value of both equation is equal. hence
term containing x on both side will be equal to each and
term independent of x will be equal in both the equation
thus
7ax = bx
2a = 8
=> a = 8/2 = 4
now, plugging a = 4 in 7ax = bx
7*4x = bx
=> b = 7*4x/x = 28.
Thus, value of b is 28.
