Evaluate
21(b−4)
Apply the distributive property
21b−21×4
Multiply the numbers
More Steps

Evaluate
21×4
Reduce the numbers
1×2
Simplify
2
21b−2
b3=21b−2
Move the expression to the left side
b3−(21b−2)=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
b3−21b+2=0
Factor the expression
21(2b3−b+4)=0
Divide both sides
2b3−b+4=0
Solution
b≈−1.391769
