Instructional Guide for Solving a Quadratic Balance Equation

Imagine you are working as a junior technical writer for an industrial manufacturing firm. Your team is updating the standard operating procedures (SOP) manual for senior operators who calibrate machinery. The machinery's balance parameter, bb, is determined by the quadratic model ${}123b = -6 - 60b^2$. To ensure the SOP is thorough and easy to follow, write a step-by-step explanatory guide recalling and detailing the exact algebraic process used to solve this equation manually. Your guide must clearly describe each mathematical step in order and explicitly name the mathematical terms, properties, or properties of equality (such as standard form, greatest common factor, and the Zero Product Property) that justify each transition.
