2\left(ax+b\right)=3\left(cx+d\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2.
2ax+2b=3\left(cx+d\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by ax+b.
2ax+2b=3cx+3d
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by cx+d.
2ax=3cx+3d-2b
Subtract 2b from both sides.
2xa=3cx+3d-2b
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2xa}{2x}=\frac{3cx+3d-2b}{2x}
Divide both sides by 2x.
a=\frac{3cx+3d-2b}{2x}
Dividing by 2x undoes the multiplication by 2x.
2\left(ax+b\right)=3\left(cx+d\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2.
2ax+2b=3\left(cx+d\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by ax+b.
2ax+2b=3cx+3d
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by cx+d.
2ax=3cx+3d-2b
Subtract 2b from both sides.
2xa=3cx+3d-2b
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2xa}{2x}=\frac{3cx+3d-2b}{2x}
Divide both sides by 2x.
a=\frac{3cx+3d-2b}{2x}
Dividing by 2x undoes the multiplication by 2x.
2\left(ax+b\right)=3\left(cx+d\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2.
2ax+2b=3\left(cx+d\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by ax+b.
2ax+2b=3cx+3d
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by cx+d.
2b=3cx+3d-2ax
Subtract 2ax from both sides.
2b=3cx-2ax+3d
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2b}{2}=\frac{3cx-2ax+3d}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
b=\frac{3cx-2ax+3d}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
b=-ax+\frac{3cx}{2}+\frac{3d}{2}
Divide 3cx+3d-2ax by 2.
