x=10a-5b
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
10a-5b=x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
10a=x+5b
Add 5b to both sides.
\frac{10a}{10}=\frac{x+5b}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
a=\frac{x+5b}{10}
Dividing by 10 undoes the multiplication by 10.
a=\frac{b}{2}+\frac{x}{10}
Divide x+5b by 10.
x=10a-5b
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
10a-5b=x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-5b=x-10a
Subtract 10a from both sides.
\frac{-5b}{-5}=\frac{x-10a}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
b=\frac{x-10a}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
b=-\frac{x}{5}+2a
Divide x-10a by -5.
