Solution for b+3=b^2 equation:


Simplifying
b + 3 = b2

Reorder the terms:
3 + b = b2

Solving
3 + b = b2

Solving for variable 'b'.

Combine like terms: b2 + -1b2 = 0
3 + b + -1b2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-3 + -1b + b2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + -1b + 3 + b2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + -1b + b2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -1b + b2 = 0 + 3
-1b + b2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-1b + b2 = 3

The b term is b.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1b + 0.25 + b2 = 3 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1b + b2 = 3 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 3 + 0.25 = 3.25
0.25 + -1b + b2 = 3.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(b + 0.5)(b + 0.5) = 3.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.802775638

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(b + 0.5) equal to 1.802775638 and -1.802775638.

Subproblem 1

b + 0.5 = 1.802775638 Simplifying b + 0.5 = 1.802775638 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + b = 1.802775638 Solving 0.5 + b = 1.802775638 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + b = 1.802775638 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + b = 1.802775638 + -0.5 b = 1.802775638 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.802775638 + -0.5 = 1.302775638 b = 1.302775638 Simplifying b = 1.302775638

Subproblem 2

b + 0.5 = -1.802775638 Simplifying b + 0.5 = -1.802775638 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + b = -1.802775638 Solving 0.5 + b = -1.802775638 Solving for variable 'b'. Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + b = -1.802775638 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + b = -1.802775638 + -0.5 b = -1.802775638 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -1.802775638 + -0.5 = -2.302775638 b = -2.302775638 Simplifying b = -2.302775638

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. b = {1.302775638, -2.302775638}
