9%284b-1%29=2%289b%2B3%29 Start with the given equation.


36b-9=18b%2B6 Distribute.


36b=18b%2B6%2B9 Add 9 to both sides.


36b-18b=6%2B9 Subtract 18b from both sides.


18b=6%2B9 Combine like terms on the left side.


18b=15 Combine like terms on the right side.


b=%2815%29%2F%2818%29 Divide both sides by 18 to isolate b.


b=5%2F6 Reduce.
