Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(b + 3) equal to 9 and -9.

Subproblem 1

b + 3 = 9 Simplifying b + 3 = 9 Reorder the terms: 3 + b = 9 Solving 3 + b = 9 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + b = 9 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + b = 9 + -3 b = 9 + -3 Combine like terms: 9 + -3 = 6 b = 6 Simplifying b = 6

Subproblem 2

b + 3 = -9 Simplifying b + 3 = -9 Reorder the terms: 3 + b = -9 Solving 3 + b = -9 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + b = -9 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + b = -9 + -3 b = -9 + -3 Combine like terms: -9 + -3 = -12 b = -12 Simplifying b = -12

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. b = {6, -12}
