(2b+5)(3b+2)=b^3 +b^2 +6b+3  b^3 −5b^2 −13b−7=0  (b−7)(b+1)^2 =0  ⇒ b=7
$$\left(\mathrm{2}{b}+\mathrm{5}\right)\left(\mathrm{3}{b}+\mathrm{2}\right)={b}^{\mathrm{3}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{6}{b}+\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${b}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{5}{b}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{13}{b}−\mathrm{7}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left({b}−\mathrm{7}\right)\left({b}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{b}=\mathrm{7} \\ $$

great way sir, thought of the  question myself, but your  method is great.

we only need to try the natural factors>1 of  the constant of the resulting polynome. if there′s  no such solution, no base exists
