Answer:
b= -3
b=3/2=1.500
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1 . b • (2b + 3) - 9 = 0
Step-2 : Find two factors of -18 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 3 .
-18 + 1 = -17
-9 + 2 = -7
-6 + 3 = -3
-3 + 6 = 3
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 6
2b2 - 3b + 6b - 9
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
b • (2b-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (2b-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(b+3) • (2b-3)
