Identify the optimal first step to solve the following equation. The operation is
intended to be used on both sides of the equation.
\[
11x - 2 = 2 - 4x
\]
Identify the value of a real parameter \(b\)
such that the graph of the function
\[
f(x) = \left |x -\frac{1}
{3}\right | + b
\]
corresponds to the picture.
