3b + 14/3 = 4

3b = 4 - 14/3

Multiply 4 by 3/3 to get a fraction with
the same denominator.

3b = 12/3 - 14/3 = -2/3

3b = -2/3
3b / 3 = (-2/3) / 3

Dividing by a number is the same as
multiplying by its reciprocal. This makes
it easier to visualize.

b = (-2/3) * (1/3)

Multiply the numerators,
then multiply the denominators.

b = -2/9
