Answer:

b = (53.2/30.5)^(1/50) ≈ 1.011188765

Explanation:

Divide by the coefficient of the variable, then take the 50th root.

53.2/30.5 = b^50

(53.2/30.5)^(1/50) = b . . . . . . 50th root of both sides of the equation

You know the rule of exponents for powers of powers is ...

(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

If we want bc = 1, then we must have c = 1/b.
