3x-2xb-1=x\left(2-3b-b^{2}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 3-2b.
3x-2xb-1=2x-3xb-xb^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 2-3b-b^{2}.
3x-2xb-1-2x=-3xb-xb^{2}
Subtract 2x from both sides.
x-2xb-1=-3xb-xb^{2}
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x-2xb-1+3xb=-xb^{2}
Add 3xb to both sides.
x+xb-1=-xb^{2}
Combine -2xb and 3xb to get xb.
x+xb-1+xb^{2}=0
Add xb^{2} to both sides.
x+xb+xb^{2}=1
Add 1 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(1+b+b^{2}\right)x=1
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(b^{2}+b+1\right)x=1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(b^{2}+b+1\right)x}{b^{2}+b+1}=\frac{1}{b^{2}+b+1}
Divide both sides by 1+b+b^{2}.
x=\frac{1}{b^{2}+b+1}
Dividing by 1+b+b^{2} undoes the multiplication by 1+b+b^{2}.
3x-2xb-1=x\left(2-3b-b^{2}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 3-2b.
3x-2xb-1=2x-3xb-xb^{2}

3x-2xb-1-2x=-3xb-xb^{2}
Subtract 2x from both sides.
x-2xb-1=-3xb-xb^{2}
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x-2xb-1+3xb=-xb^{2}
Add 3xb to both sides.
x+xb-1=-xb^{2}
Combine -2xb and 3xb to get xb.
x+xb-1+xb^{2}=0
Add xb^{2} to both sides.
x+xb+xb^{2}=1
Add 1 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
