b\left(1-2bx\right)=-2\left(4x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by b\left(b-3\right), the least common multiple of b-3,3b-b^{2}.
b-2xb^{2}=-2\left(4x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply b by 1-2bx.
b-2xb^{2}=-8x+2
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 4x-1.
b-2xb^{2}+8x=2
Add 8x to both sides.
-2xb^{2}+8x=2-b
Subtract b from both sides.
\left(-2b^{2}+8\right)x=2-b
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(8-2b^{2}\right)x=2-b
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(8-2b^{2}\right)x}{8-2b^{2}}=\frac{2-b}{8-2b^{2}}
Divide both sides by -2b^{2}+8.
x=\frac{2-b}{8-2b^{2}}
Dividing by -2b^{2}+8 undoes the multiplication by -2b^{2}+8.
x=\frac{1}{2\left(b+2\right)}
Divide 2-b by -2b^{2}+8.
b\left(1-2bx\right)=-2\left(4x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by b\left(b-3\right), the least common multiple of b-3,3b-b^{2}.
b-2xb^{2}=-2\left(4x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply b by 1-2bx.
b-2xb^{2}=-8x+2
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 4x-1.
b-2xb^{2}+8x=2
Add 8x to both sides.
-2xb^{2}+8x=2-b
Subtract b from both sides.
\left(-2b^{2}+8\right)x=2-b
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(8-2b^{2}\right)x=2-b

\frac{\left(8-2b^{2}\right)x}{8-2b^{2}}=\frac{2-b}{8-2b^{2}}
Divide both sides by -2b^{2}+8.
x=\frac{2-b}{8-2b^{2}}
Dividing by -2b^{2}+8 undoes the multiplication by -2b^{2}+8.
x=\frac{1}{2\left(b+2\right)}
Divide 2-b by -2b^{2}+8.
