Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the inequality for b
-15b <= 45 divide both sides by -15, since you're dividing by a negative number switch the direction of the sign.
b >= -3
So, your number line is all values of b greater than or equal to -3. Since it is including -3, the circle will be filled and increase to the positive.
If there is only one solution, at x=-3, then the factor of (x+3) must be repeated. The equation must be equivalent to
... (x +3)² = 0
This multiplies out to give
... x² +6x +9 = 0
The value of m is 6.

For finding the square of a binomial, you can either use the special form you have memorized:
... (x +a)² + x² +2ax + a²
or you can use the distributive property.
... (x +a)² = x(x +a) +a(x +a)
... = x² +ax +ax +a² = x² +2ax +a²
