Subtract b/8 to both sides:
b 2 + 4 b 8 = 88
Subtract 4 to both sides:
b 2 b 8 = 88 4 b 2 b 8 = 84
Multiply b/2 by 4 to obtain a common denominator and subtract the fraction:
4 b 2 × 4 b 8 = 84 3 b 8 = 84
Multiply both sides by 8.
3b=(84)(8)
Divide both sides by 3.
b=672/3=224
Therefore b=224
Verify:
224 2 + 4 = 224 8 + 88 116 = 116
