3-2/9b=1/3b-7

3 - 2/9b = 3/9b - 7

10 = 5/9b

10/(5/9) = b
3-2/9b=1/3b-7

3 -2/9b = 1/3b -7

3+7 -2/9b = 1/3b -7 +7

10 -2/9b = 1/3b

10-2/9b +2/9b = 1/3b +2/9b

10 = (3+2)/9b

10 = 5/9b

Multiply both by 9b

10(9b) = 9b(5/9b)

90b = 5

Solve for b

90b/90 = 5/90

b = 1/18
Either answer is correct, depending how how you interpret the original equation
