x^{2}+bx+3=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
bx+3=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
bx=-x^{2}-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
xb=-x^{2}-3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xb}{x}=\frac{-x^{2}-3}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
b=\frac{-x^{2}-3}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
b=-x-\frac{3}{x}
Divide -x^{2}-3 by x.
