| 1 | ÷ | b | + | 1 | ÷ | b | + | 1 | + | 1 | ÷ | b | + | 2 | = | 0 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | b |
| 1 | + | 1 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | + | 1 | b | + | 1 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | + | 2 | b | = | 0 |
| 1 | b | + | 2 | b | = | 0 | − | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 |
| 1 | b | + | 2 | b | = | 0 | − | 1 | − | 1 | − | 1 |
| 3 | b | = | 0 | − | 1 | − | 1 | − | 1 |
| 3 | b | = | - | 3 |
| b | = | - | 3 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | - | 3 | × | 1 3 |
| = | - | 1 | × | 1 |
| b | = | - | 1 |
