4a-4a=-3ab+4b
Subtract 4a from both sides.
0=-3ab+4b
Combine 4a and -4a to get 0.
-3ab+4b=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-3ab=-4b
Subtract 4b from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(-3b\right)a=-4b
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-3b\right)a}{-3b}=-\frac{4b}{-3b}
Divide both sides by -3b.
a=-\frac{4b}{-3b}
Dividing by -3b undoes the multiplication by -3b.
a=\frac{4}{3}
Divide -4b by -3b.
4a-3ab+4b=4a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-3ab+4b=4a-4a
Subtract 4a from both sides.
-3ab+4b=0
Combine 4a and -4a to get 0.
\left(-3a+4\right)b=0
Combine all terms containing b.
\left(4-3a\right)b=0
The equation is in standard form.
b=0
Divide 0 by -3a+4.
