The GCF of 18 and 36 is 18. To solve this, use the picture attached. After creating the boxes, find a number that both 18 and 36 can be divided by, for example, 9. Now that you have 9, divide both 18 and 36 by 9. That equals 2 and 4. Place the numbers underneath the boxes you made previously and find another number that both 2 and 4 are divisible by. 2 and 4 are both able to be divided into 2. Do 2 divided by 2 and 4 divided by 2. Now you have the numbers 1 and 2. There aren't any numbers that can be divided into 1 and 2, so now you are left with the numbers 9 and 2. Multiply the numbers together to get a GCF of 18. Hope this helped!
(I crossed simplify)
Next cross multiply;
3b = 1
b = 1/3
To check if the statement is true just substitute the value of b in the equation;
3b = 1
3(1/3) = 1
1 = 1
