Ayien is correct. DC added 2 and should have subtracted 2.
8b + 2 > 67 - 5b (add 5b to both sides)
13b + 2 > 67 (subtract 2 from both sides)
13b > 65 (divide both sides by 13)
b > 5

I haven't done math in a while but the above posters response doesn't look correct for some reason.
8b + 2 > 67 - 5b
13b + 2 >67
13b > 69
b>69/13
