2ab=18a
Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3a.
2ab-18a=0
Subtract 18a from both sides.
\left(2b-18\right)a=0
Combine all terms containing a.
a=0
Divide 0 by 2b-18.
a\in \emptyset
Variable a cannot be equal to 0.
2ab=18a
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3a.
\frac{2ab}{2a}=\frac{18a}{2a}
Divide both sides by 2a.
b=\frac{18a}{2a}
Dividing by 2a undoes the multiplication by 2a.
b=9
Divide 18a by 2a.
