Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(3 + b)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3 + b = 0

Solving
3 + b = 0

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 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + b = 0 + -3
b = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
b = -3

Simplifying
b = -3
