Answer:


(-3+ 2√(3))/(2)\textrm{ and }(-3- 2√(3))/(2)

Explanation:


3(2b+3)^(2)=36\\(3(2b+3)^(2))/(3)=(36)/(3)\\(2b+3)^(2)=12

Taking square root both sides, we get


\sqrt{(2b+3)^(2)}=\pm √(12)\\2b+3=\pm √(4* 3)\\2b+3=\pm 2√(3)\\2b+3-3=\pm 2√(3)-3\\2b=-3\pm 2√(3)\\b=(-3\pm 2√(3))/(2)\\b=(-3+ 2√(3))/(2)\textrm{ or }b=(-3- 2√(3))/(2)

Therefore, the values of
b are:


(-3+ 2√(3))/(2)\textrm{ and }(-3- 2√(3))/(2)
