x^{2}-axb=3\left(2x^{2}-b\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x^{2}-b.
x^{2}-axb=6x^{2}-3b
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x^{2}-b.
-axb=6x^{2}-3b-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
-axb=5x^{2}-3b
Combine 6x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 5x^{2}.
\left(-bx\right)a=5x^{2}-3b
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-bx\right)a}{-bx}=\frac{5x^{2}-3b}{-bx}
Divide both sides by -xb.
a=\frac{5x^{2}-3b}{-bx}
Dividing by -xb undoes the multiplication by -xb.
a=-\frac{5x}{b}+\frac{3}{x}
Divide 5x^{2}-3b by -xb.
