b\left(1-m\right)^{2}=5
Combine 3b and -2b to get b.
b\left(1-2m+m^{2}\right)=5
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(1-m\right)^{2}.
b-2bm+bm^{2}=5
Use the distributive property to multiply b by 1-2m+m^{2}.
\left(1-2m+m^{2}\right)b=5
Combine all terms containing b.
\left(m^{2}-2m+1\right)b=5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(m^{2}-2m+1\right)b}{m^{2}-2m+1}=\frac{5}{m^{2}-2m+1}
Divide both sides by m^{2}-2m+1.
b=\frac{5}{m^{2}-2m+1}
Dividing by m^{2}-2m+1 undoes the multiplication by m^{2}-2m+1.
b=\frac{5}{\left(m-1\right)^{2}}
Divide 5 by m^{2}-2m+1.
