Answer:

±√3

Explanation:

Given: If b+b+b=b∗b∗b , what is b besides 0?

3b =
b^(2)

Since I'm assuming we disregard b=0 as a solution, we can divide both sides by b

3 =
b^(2)

Now we need to be careful here since b could be positive/negative, when we square root both sides it will be absolute valued

3–√=|b|

So either, b = √3 or b = –√3

hope this helps >~<
