\frac{1}{2}a=c-b
Subtract b from both sides.
\frac{\frac{1}{2}a}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{c-b}{\frac{1}{2}}
Multiply both sides by 2.
a=\frac{c-b}{\frac{1}{2}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{2}.
a=2c-2b
Divide c-b by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying c-b by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.
b=c-\frac{1}{2}a
Subtract \frac{1}{2}a from both sides.
