Answer by Leaf W.(135) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Just do the same thing as you would normally do. When you square a square root of a number, it cancels out to just the number--if you square the square root of x, the result is x.
a = 5, b = ?, c =

x = 8
Therefore, b = 8.
Hope I helped! Good luck! =)
