Group like terms

2 (b + 3) - 17 = 3 b + b - 7

Add similar elements:

3 b + b = 4 b

2 (b + 3) - 17 = 4 b - 7

Expand

2 (b + 3) - 17 : 2 b - 11

2 b - 11 = 4 b - 7

Move

11

to the right side

2 b = 4 b + 4

Move

4 b

to the left side

- 2 b = 4

Divide both sides by

- 2

b = - 2

2^{5} x = 64

\frac{1}{3} v + 5 = \frac{2}{9} v + 7

8 b - 7 = 7 b - 2

a, a + b = 15

x + 3 = 2 x - 6
