Find the value of 9b9b if 42b=b4-2b=b.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The equation given is 42b=b4 - 2b = b.
2. We need to solve for bb.
3. After finding the value of bb, we need to calculate 9b9b.

STEP 2

To solve for bb, we will first isolate the variable on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 2b2b to both sides of the equation.
42b+2b=b+2b4 - 2b + 2b = b + 2b

STEP 3

Simplify both sides of the equation to get bb by itself.
4=3b4 = 3b

STEP 4

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 33 to solve for bb.
43=3b3\frac{4}{3} = \frac{3b}{3}

STEP 5

Simplify the equation to find the value of bb.
b=43b = \frac{4}{3}

STEP 6

Now that we have the value of bb, we can calculate 9b9b by multiplying 99 by the value of bb.
9b=9×439b = 9 \times \frac{4}{3}

STEP 7

Multiply the numbers to find the value of 9b9b.
9b=9×43=3×4=129b = 9 \times \frac{4}{3} = 3 \times 4 = 12
Therefore, 9b=129b = 12.
