To solve the equation 2a - b = 15, we can use the value of a given as 6.
Substituting the value of a into the equation, we get:
2(6) - b = 15
Simplifying the equation, we have:
12 - b = 15
To isolate the variable b, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
- b = 15 - 12
Which gives us:
- b = 3
To solve for b, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1:
b = -3
Therefore, the value of b is -3.
