3bx+3ax=-abdx+3ab\times 3
Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3ab, the least common multiple of a,b,-3.
3bx+3ax=-abdx+9ab
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
3bx+3ax+abdx=9ab
Add abdx to both sides.
3bx+3ax+abdx-9ab=0
Subtract 9ab from both sides.
3ax+abdx-9ab=-3bx
Subtract 3bx from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(3x+bdx-9b\right)a=-3bx
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(bdx+3x-9b\right)a=-3bx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(bdx+3x-9b\right)a}{bdx+3x-9b}=-\frac{3bx}{bdx+3x-9b}
Divide both sides by 3x+bdx-9b.
a=-\frac{3bx}{bdx+3x-9b}
Dividing by 3x+bdx-9b undoes the multiplication by 3x+bdx-9b.
a=-\frac{3bx}{bdx+3x-9b}\text{, }a\neq 0
Variable a cannot be equal to 0.
3bx+3ax=-abdx+3ab\times 3
Variable b cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3ab, the least common multiple of a,b,-3.
3bx+3ax=-abdx+9ab
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
3bx+3ax+abdx=9ab
Add abdx to both sides.
3bx+3ax+abdx-9ab=0
Subtract 9ab from both sides.
3bx+abdx-9ab=-3ax
Subtract 3ax from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(3x+adx-9a\right)b=-3ax
Combine all terms containing b.
\left(adx+3x-9a\right)b=-3ax
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(adx+3x-9a\right)b}{adx+3x-9a}=-\frac{3ax}{adx+3x-9a}
Divide both sides by 3x+adx-9a.
b=-\frac{3ax}{adx+3x-9a}
Dividing by 3x+adx-9a undoes the multiplication by 3x+adx-9a.
b=-\frac{3ax}{adx+3x-9a}\text{, }b\neq 0
Variable b cannot be equal to 0.
