Solve a/b=6

$$\frac { a } { b } = 6$$

Solve for b

$$b=\frac{a}{6}$$

$$a\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable b cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by b.

$$a=6b$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$6b=a$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$\frac{6b}{6}=\frac{a}{6}$$

Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.

$$b=\frac{a}{6}$$

Variable b cannot be equal to 0.

$$b=\frac{a}{6}\text{, }b\neq 0$$

Solve for a

$$a=6b$$

$$b\neq 0$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by b.

$$a=6b$$
