To solve for b, first convert b^2/5 to radical form:

, and now we have:

Next, take the square root of both sides:

Leaving us with:

Next, multiply each side by itself 5 times:

7776 = b

Remember, because we took the square root of both sides earlier, 6 also became -6, which, when multiplied by itself 5 times, gives us -7776.

Therefore, b = 7776 AND -7776
