3=b\times 16+b\times 2
Variable b cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by b.
3=18b
Combine b\times 16 and b\times 2 to get 18b.
18b=3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
b=\frac{3}{18}
Divide both sides by 18.
b=\frac{1}{6}
Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
