Alternative Form
b≈1.04564
Evaluate
60−24b5×2
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
60−24b5×2=0
Multiply the terms
60−48b5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−48b5=0−60
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−48b5=−60
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
48b5=60
Divide both sides
4848b5=4860
Divide the numbers
b5=4860
Cancel out the common factor 12
b5=45
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5b5=545
Calculate
b=545
