Respuesta :

There is no answer, what your have written down is an expression, not an equation. you can’t solve an expression since it does not equal anything.

If you are asking for it to be factored the answer would be (b+1)(b+8)
b² + 9b + 8

which two numbers add up to 9 and multiply to 8? 1 and 8

so you rewrite the expression like this;

(b + 1)(b + 8)

hope that helps, God bless!
