4a-3ab=-4b
Subtract 4b from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(4-3b\right)a=-4b
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(4-3b\right)a}{4-3b}=-\frac{4b}{4-3b}
Divide both sides by 4-3b.
a=-\frac{4b}{4-3b}
Dividing by 4-3b undoes the multiplication by 4-3b.
-3ab+4b=-4a
Subtract 4a from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(-3a+4\right)b=-4a
Combine all terms containing b.
\left(4-3a\right)b=-4a
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(4-3a\right)b}{4-3a}=-\frac{4a}{4-3a}
Divide both sides by -3a+4.
b=-\frac{4a}{4-3a}
Dividing by -3a+4 undoes the multiplication by -3a+4.
