I know this might be quite trivial, but I just can't seem to figure out how to prove $$R = \{(a,b) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} : 3a + 4b \text{ is divisible by } 7\}$$ is a symmetric relation, i.e., if $aRb$, then $bRa$, where $\mathbb{Z}$ is the set of integers

Hint:
$(3a+4b)+(4a+3b)=7(a+b)$.
