a+3x^{2}=bx^{2}
Variable b cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by b.
bx^{2}=a+3x^{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}b=3x^{2}+a
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}b}{x^{2}}=\frac{3x^{2}+a}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
b=\frac{3x^{2}+a}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
b=3+\frac{a}{x^{2}}
Divide a+3x^{2} by x^{2}.
b=3+\frac{a}{x^{2}}\text{, }b\neq 0
Variable b cannot be equal to 0.
