   2      
4*b  = 144
$$4 b^{2} = 144$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$4 b^{2} = 144$$
to
$$4 b^{2} - 144 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*b^2 + b*b + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$b_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$b_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 4$$
$$b = 0$$
$$c = -144$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(0)^2 - 4 * (4) * (-144) = 2304

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
b1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

b2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$b_{1} = 6$$
$$b_{2} = -6$$
Vieta's Theorem
rewrite the equation
$$4 b^{2} = 144$$
of
$$a b^{2} + b^{2} + c = 0$$
as reduced quadratic equation
$$b^{2} + \frac{b^{2}}{a} + \frac{c}{a} = 0$$
$$b^{2} - 36 = 0$$
$$b^{2} + b p + q = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 0$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = -36$$
Vieta Formulas
$$b_{1} + b_{2} = - p$$
$$b_{1} b_{2} = q$$
$$b_{1} + b_{2} = 0$$
$$b_{1} b_{2} = -36$$
