| ( | 2 | b | − | 3 | ) | + | b | + | b | ÷ | 2 | = | 2013 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | 2 | b | − | 3 | ) | + | 3 2 | b |
| ( | 2 | b | − | 3 | ) | + | 3 2 | b | = | 2013 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | b | − | 3 | + | 3 2 | b |
| = | 7 2 | b | − | 3 |
7 2 | b | − | 3 | = | 2013 |
7 2 | b | = | 2013 | + | 3 |
7 2 | b | = | 2016 |
| b | = | 2016 | ÷ | 7 2 |
| = | 2016 | × | 2 7 |
| = | 288 | × | 2 |
| b | = | 576 |
