2a+2\sqrt{2}a+\left(3+\sqrt{3}\right)b+3=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2+2\sqrt{2} by a.
2a+2\sqrt{2}a+3b+\sqrt{3}b+3=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 3+\sqrt{3} by b.
2a+2\sqrt{2}a+\sqrt{3}b+3=-3b
Subtract 3b from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2a+2\sqrt{2}a+3=-3b-\sqrt{3}b
Subtract \sqrt{3}b from both sides.
2a+2\sqrt{2}a=-3b-\sqrt{3}b-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
2\sqrt{2}a+2a=-\sqrt{3}b-3b-3
Reorder the terms.
\left(2\sqrt{2}+2\right)a=-\sqrt{3}b-3b-3
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(2\sqrt{2}+2\right)a}{2\sqrt{2}+2}=\frac{-\sqrt{3}b-3b-3}{2\sqrt{2}+2}
Divide both sides by 2+2\sqrt{2}.
a=\frac{-\sqrt{3}b-3b-3}{2\sqrt{2}+2}
Dividing by 2+2\sqrt{2} undoes the multiplication by 2+2\sqrt{2}.
a=-\frac{\left(\sqrt{2}-1\right)\left(\sqrt{3}b+3b+3\right)}{2}
Divide -\sqrt{3}b-3b-3 by 2+2\sqrt{2}.
2a+2\sqrt{2}a+\left(3+\sqrt{3}\right)b+3=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2+2\sqrt{2} by a.
2a+2\sqrt{2}a+3b+\sqrt{3}b+3=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 3+\sqrt{3} by b.
2\sqrt{2}a+3b+\sqrt{3}b+3=-2a
Subtract 2a from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
3b+\sqrt{3}b+3=-2a-2\sqrt{2}a
Subtract 2\sqrt{2}a from both sides.
3b+\sqrt{3}b=-2a-2\sqrt{2}a-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\left(3+\sqrt{3}\right)b=-2a-2\sqrt{2}a-3
Combine all terms containing b.
\left(\sqrt{3}+3\right)b=-2\sqrt{2}a-2a-3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{3}+3\right)b}{\sqrt{3}+3}=\frac{-2\sqrt{2}a-2a-3}{\sqrt{3}+3}
Divide both sides by 3+\sqrt{3}.
b=\frac{-2\sqrt{2}a-2a-3}{\sqrt{3}+3}
Dividing by 3+\sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by 3+\sqrt{3}.
b=-\frac{\left(3-\sqrt{3}\right)\left(2\sqrt{2}a+2a+3\right)}{6}
Divide -2a-2\sqrt{2}a-3 by 3+\sqrt{3}.
