Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
3a=cb
Variable b cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by b.
cb=3a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{cb}{c}=\frac{3a}{c}
Divide both sides by c.
b=\frac{3a}{c}
Dividing by c undoes the multiplication by c.
b=\frac{3a}{c}\text{, }b\neq 0
Variable b cannot be equal to 0.
