This is pretty easy, as you will see:
:
%286b%2B18%29%2Fb
--------
%28b%2B3%29%2Fb
In the top numerator we can factor out 6:
%286%28b%2B3%29%29%2Fb
--------
%28b%2B3%29%2Fb
Remember when you divide fractions: invert the dividing fraction and multiply
%286%28b%2B3%29%29%2Fb * b%2F%28b%2B3%29 = 6
You cancel out (b+3) and b
