b%2F7=-11 involves fractions only in the sense that we could write it as %281%2F7%29b=-11
The first step would be multiplying both sides of the equal sign times 7.
Next we simplify, and get to the answer pretty quickly.
Depending on the teacher, you may not need to show many (or any) steps
b%2F7=-11 --> %28b%2F7%297=-11%2A7 --> b%2A7%2F7=-77 --> b%2A%287%2F7%29=-77 --> b%2A1=-77 --> highlight%28b=-77%29
