Let's start by distributing through the 9 on the left hand side, and the 2 on the right hand side:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9%284b-1%29=2%289b%2B3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9%284b%29%2B9%28-1%29=2%289b%29%2B2%283%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"36b-9=18b%2B6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now, we need to solve for b, so let's start by subtracting 18b from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18b-9=6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Next, add 9 to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18b=15\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Last, we need to divide both sides by 18:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b=15%2F18\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
