Starting with the equation:
[tex]4(b-1)=-4+4b[/tex]Use the distributive property to expand the parenthesis in the left hand side of the equation:
[tex]4b-4=-4+4b[/tex]Use the commutative property to rewrite the right hand side of the equation, swapping the terms:
[tex]4b-4=4b-4[/tex]Since both sides of the equation are the same, any value of b is a solution to the equation.
Therefore, all numbers are a solution for the equation 4(b-1)=-4+4b.
