Solve for bb. Express your answer as an integer or integers or in simplest radical form.
-43=5-3b^2
To solve for b, first isolate the term with b^2 by subtracting 5 from both sides:
-43 - 5 = -3b^2
-48 = -3b^2
Next, divide both sides by -3:
b^2 = 16
Finally, take the square root of both sides to solve for b:
b = ±√16
b = ±4
Therefore, the solutions for b are b = 4 and b = -4.
