It's not entirely clear what the original equation is. Please use parenthesis to indicate what is being divided.
--------------------------------------------------
If the equation is , then we subtract 3/b from both sides to get
--------------------------------------------------
OR
If the equation is , then we multiply both sides by 'b' first. Then we subtract 3 from both sides

this depends very much on whether you meant:
a + 3/b = c
or you meant:
(a + 3) / b = c
in the first case, you would solve it as follows:
start with:
a + 3/b = c
subtract 3/b from both sides of the equation to get:
a = c - 3/b
in the second case, you would solve it as follows:
start with:
(a + 3) / b = c
multiply both sides by 3 to get:
a + 3 = c * b
subtract 3 from both sides of the equation to get:
a = c * b - 3
