Use the product rule an×am=an+m to simplify the expression
b2+1
Add the numbers
b3
0−320−b3=0
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−320−b3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−b3=0+320
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−b3=320
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
b3=−320
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3b3=3−320
Calculate
b=3−320
