To solve the equation \( b + 6 = 21 \), the correct steps are:

1. **Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.**
\[
b + 6 - 6 = 21 - 6
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
b = 15
\]

2. **The answer is \( b = 15 \).**

3. **Check the solution by substituting 15 for \( b \).**
\[
15 + 6 = 21
\]
Since this statement is true, our solution is verified.

The correct response is:
**1. Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation. 2. The answer is b = 15. 3. Check the solution by substituting 15 for b.**
