We can substitute on the expression the values of aa and bb, and find the result.

3a+b24=34+(6)24=12624=624=14\dfrac{3a+b}{24} = \dfrac{3 \cdot4+(-6)}{24} = \dfrac{12-6}{24} = \dfrac{6}{24} = \dfrac{1}{4}

On the last step we can divide on the numerator and denominator by 66 so numerator becomes 11 and denominator 44.
