b^{2}+b\times 0+3b=\left(b-3\right)^{2}
Subtract 3 from 3 to get 0.
b^{2}+0+3b=\left(b-3\right)^{2}
Anything times zero gives zero.
b^{2}+3b=\left(b-3\right)^{2}
Anything plus zero gives itself.
b^{2}+3b=b^{2}-6b+9
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(b-3\right)^{2}.
b^{2}+3b-b^{2}=-6b+9
Subtract b^{2} from both sides.
3b=-6b+9
Combine b^{2} and -b^{2} to get 0.
3b+6b=9
Add 6b to both sides.
9b=9
Combine 3b and 6b to get 9b.
b=\frac{9}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
b=1
Divide 9 by 9 to get 1.
