bx^{2}-x^{2}-9b=-9
Subtract 9 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
bx^{2}-9b=-9+x^{2}
Add x^{2} to both sides.
\left(x^{2}-9\right)b=-9+x^{2}
Combine all terms containing b.
\left(x^{2}-9\right)b=x^{2}-9
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x^{2}-9\right)b}{x^{2}-9}=\frac{x^{2}-9}{x^{2}-9}
Divide both sides by x^{2}-9.
b=\frac{x^{2}-9}{x^{2}-9}
Dividing by x^{2}-9 undoes the multiplication by x^{2}-9.
b=1
Divide x^{2}-9 by x^{2}-9.
bx^{2}-x^{2}-9b=-9
