a+3ab=4b
Add 3ab to both sides.
\left(1+3b\right)a=4b
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(3b+1\right)a=4b
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(3b+1\right)a}{3b+1}=\frac{4b}{3b+1}
Divide both sides by 3b+1.
a=\frac{4b}{3b+1}
Dividing by 3b+1 undoes the multiplication by 3b+1.
4b-3ab=a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(4-3a\right)b=a
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(4-3a\right)b}{4-3a}=\frac{a}{4-3a}
Divide both sides by 4-3a.
b=\frac{a}{4-3a}
Dividing by 4-3a undoes the multiplication by 4-3a.
