3\left(2a-7\right)=b\times 5ac
Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5ac.
6a-21=b\times 5ac
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2a-7.
6a-21-b\times 5ac=0
Subtract b\times 5ac from both sides.
6a-21-5bac=0
Multiply -1 and 5 to get -5.
6a-5bac=21
Add 21 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(6-5bc\right)a=21
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(6-5bc\right)a}{6-5bc}=\frac{21}{6-5bc}
Divide both sides by 6-5cb.
a=\frac{21}{6-5bc}
Dividing by 6-5cb undoes the multiplication by 6-5cb.
a=\frac{21}{6-5bc}\text{, }a\neq 0
Variable a cannot be equal to 0.
3\left(2a-7\right)=b\times 5ac
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5ac.
6a-21=b\times 5ac
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2a-7.
b\times 5ac=6a-21
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5acb=6a-21
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5acb}{5ac}=\frac{6a-21}{5ac}
Divide both sides by 5ac.
b=\frac{6a-21}{5ac}
Dividing by 5ac undoes the multiplication by 5ac.
b=\frac{3\left(2a-7\right)}{5ac}
Divide 6a-21 by 5ac.
