Your given the equation 1465 = b5 + 5
I have trouble when there backwards.... IDK why.
As long as b5 means b times 5 then...
1465 = b5 + 5
we can just rewrite b5 as 5b
1465 = 5b + 5
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation
1460 = 5b
Divide both sides of the equation by 5
292 = b
That is the same as...
b = 292
Thank you : )
