Question
Solve the equation
Solve for b
b1=−1,b2=0,b3=1
Evaluate
44b3×3=12b×11
Multiply the terms
132b3=12b×11
Multiply the terms
132b3=132b
Add or subtract both sides
132b3−132b=0
Factor the expression
132b(b2−1)=0
Divide both sides
b(b2−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
b=0b2−1=0

More Steps

Evaluate
b2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
b2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
b2=1
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
b=±1
Simplify the expression
b=±1
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
b=1b=−1
b=0b=1b=−1
Solution
b1=−1,b2=0,b3=1
