Please note that in general, if you have ONE equation with TWO or more variables, there is not a unique solution. You can assign an arbitrary value for "a", replace it, then calculate what would be the corresponding value of "b". Or, probably even better, you can solve for "b" in terms of "a". Then you can assign any value to "a", and calculate the corresponding value for "b". To actually solve for "b", first solve for b2 in the usual way, that is, manipulate the equation until b2 is on the left, everything else on the right. Then take the square root on each side.

How do you solve 5b squared equals 8b?
5b2 = 8b therefore 5b =8 therefore b = 1.6
How do you do pythagorean theorem when you have a and c?
B squared equals c squared minus a squared then to find B take the square root of you answer for b squared
A squared plus b squared equals c squared?
This is the common form of the Pythagorean Theorem. It describes the relationship between the two legs of a right triangle and the hypotenuse.
When a squared plus b squared equals c squared what is the square root of the square root of the square root of a squared squared squared plus b squared squared squared?
Since a squared plus b squared equals c squared, that is the same as c equals the square root of a squared plus b squared. This can be taken into squaring and square roots to infinity and still equal c, as long as there is the same number of squaring and square roots in the problem. Since this question asks for a and b squared three times, and also three square roots of a and b both, they equal c. Basically, they cancel each other out.
How do you solve for x when a plus x equals b?
x=b-a
