For this case we have the following equation:


18=(b)/(3)+3

We want to leave the variable "b", so we follow the steps below:

1st step:

We subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:


18-3=(b)/(3)+3-3


15=(b)/(3)

2nd step:

We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:


15*3=(b)/(3)*3\\45=b

Thus, the value of the variable "b" is given by 45.

Answer:


b = 45
