| ( | 125 | b | + | b | ) | × | 3 | ÷ | 4 | = | 1755 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | 125 | b | + | b | ) | × | 3 4 |
| ( | 125 | b | + | b | ) | × | 3 4 | = | 1755 |
| Left side of the equation = | 125 | b | × | 3 4 | + | b | × | 3 4 |
| = | 375 4 | b | + | b | × | 3 4 |
| = | 189 2 | b |
189 2 | b | = | 1755 |
| b | = | 1755 | ÷ | 189 2 |
