1131x=a^{2}+b\sqrt{3\times 9^{2}\times 8}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 29x.
1131x=a^{2}+b\sqrt{3\times 81\times 8}
Calculate 9 to the power of 2 and get 81.
1131x=a^{2}+b\sqrt{243\times 8}
Multiply 3 and 81 to get 243.
1131x=a^{2}+b\sqrt{1944}
Multiply 243 and 8 to get 1944.
1131x=a^{2}+b\times 18\sqrt{6}
Factor 1944=18^{2}\times 6. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{18^{2}\times 6} as the product of square roots \sqrt{18^{2}}\sqrt{6}. Take the square root of 18^{2}.
a^{2}+b\times 18\sqrt{6}=1131x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
b\times 18\sqrt{6}=1131x-a^{2}
Subtract a^{2} from both sides.
18\sqrt{6}b=1131x-a^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{18\sqrt{6}b}{18\sqrt{6}}=\frac{1131x-a^{2}}{18\sqrt{6}}
Divide both sides by 18\sqrt{6}.
b=\frac{1131x-a^{2}}{18\sqrt{6}}
Dividing by 18\sqrt{6} undoes the multiplication by 18\sqrt{6}.
b=\frac{\sqrt{6}\left(1131x-a^{2}\right)}{108}
Divide 1131x-a^{2} by 18\sqrt{6}.
