Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(9 + -7b + b2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 9 + -7b + b2 = 0 Solving 9 + -7b + b2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-9' to each side of the equation. 9 + -7b + -9 + b2 = 0 + -9 Reorder the terms: 9 + -9 + -7b + b2 = 0 + -9 Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0 0 + -7b + b2 = 0 + -9 -7b + b2 = 0 + -9 Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9 -7b + b2 = -9 The b term is -7b. Take half its coefficient (-3.5). Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides. Add '12.25' to each side of the equation. -7b + 12.25 + b2 = -9 + 12.25 Reorder the terms: 12.25 + -7b + b2 = -9 + 12.25 Combine like terms: -9 + 12.25 = 3.25 12.25 + -7b + b2 = 3.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (b + -3.5)(b + -3.5) = 3.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.802775638 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (b + -3.5) equal to 1.802775638 and -1.802775638.

Subproblem 1

b + -3.5 = 1.802775638 Simplifying b + -3.5 = 1.802775638 Reorder the terms: -3.5 + b = 1.802775638 Solving -3.5 + b = 1.802775638 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '3.5' to each side of the equation. -3.5 + 3.5 + b = 1.802775638 + 3.5 Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + b = 1.802775638 + 3.5 b = 1.802775638 + 3.5 Combine like terms: 1.802775638 + 3.5 = 5.302775638 b = 5.302775638 Simplifying b = 5.302775638

Subproblem 2

b + -3.5 = -1.802775638 Simplifying b + -3.5 = -1.802775638 Reorder the terms: -3.5 + b = -1.802775638 Solving -3.5 + b = -1.802775638 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '3.5' to each side of the equation. -3.5 + 3.5 + b = -1.802775638 + 3.5 Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + b = -1.802775638 + 3.5 b = -1.802775638 + 3.5 Combine like terms: -1.802775638 + 3.5 = 1.697224362 b = 1.697224362 Simplifying b = 1.697224362
