Answer:

b= -3

b=3/2=1.500

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 . b • (2b + 3) -  9  = 0

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -18  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   3 .

     -18    +    1    =    -17  

     -9    +    2    =    -7  

     -6    +    3    =    -3  

     -3    +    6    =    3

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -3  and  6  

                    2b2 - 3b + 6b - 9

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   b • (2b-3)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   3 • (2b-3)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (b+3)  •  (2b-3)
