3 2 | × | 3 2 | + | 3 2 | b | = | 9 | + | 3 | ( | 15 2 | − | b | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 9 4 | + | 3 2 | b |
9 4 | + | 3 2 | b | = | 9 | + | 3 | ( | 15 2 | − | b | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 9 | + | 3 | × | 15 2 | − | 3 | b |
| = | 9 | + | 45 2 | − | 3 | b |
| = | 63 2 | − | 3 | b |
9 4 | + | 3 2 | b | = | 63 2 | − | 3 | b |
3 2 | b | + | 3 | b | = | 63 2 | − | 9 4 |
9 2 | b | = | 63 2 | − | 9 4 |
9 2 | b | = | 117 4 |
| b | = | 117 4 | ÷ | 9 2 |
| = | 117 4 | × | 2 9 |
| = | 13 2 | × | 1 |
| b | = | 13 2 |
| b | = | 6.5 |
