Sagot :

To solve this equation, we need to follow the next steps:

1. Apply the distributive property:

[tex]b-6\cdot4b+6\cdot2=150\Rightarrow b-24b+12=150[/tex]

2. Add the like terms, and subtract 12 to both sides of the equation:

[tex]-23b+12=150\Rightarrow-23b=150-12[/tex]

3. Divide both sides of the equation by -23 (to isolate b):

[tex]\frac{-23}{-23}b=\frac{150-12}{-23}\Rightarrow b=\frac{138}{-23}\Rightarrow b=-6[/tex]

Then, the answer to this equation is {-6} (option A).
