-15ax+5ab=2bx
Add 5ab to both sides.
\left(-15x+5b\right)a=2bx
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(5b-15x\right)a=2bx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(5b-15x\right)a}{5b-15x}=\frac{2bx}{5b-15x}
Divide both sides by -15x+5b.
a=\frac{2bx}{5b-15x}
Dividing by -15x+5b undoes the multiplication by -15x+5b.
a=\frac{2bx}{5\left(b-3x\right)}
Divide 2bx by -15x+5b.
2bx-5ab=-15ax
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(2x-5a\right)b=-15ax
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(2x-5a\right)b}{2x-5a}=-\frac{15ax}{2x-5a}
Divide both sides by 2x-5a.
b=-\frac{15ax}{2x-5a}
Dividing by 2x-5a undoes the multiplication by 2x-5a.
-15ax+5ab=2bx
Add 5ab to both sides.
\left(-15x+5b\right)a=2bx
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(5b-15x\right)a=2bx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(5b-15x\right)a}{5b-15x}=\frac{2bx}{5b-15x}
Divide both sides by -15x+5b.
a=\frac{2bx}{5b-15x}
Dividing by -15x+5b undoes the multiplication by -15x+5b.
a=\frac{2bx}{5\left(b-3x\right)}
Divide 2bx by -15x+5b.
2bx-5ab=-15ax
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(2x-5a\right)b=-15ax
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(2x-5a\right)b}{2x-5a}=-\frac{15ax}{2x-5a}
Divide both sides by 2x-5a.
b=-\frac{15ax}{2x-5a}
Dividing by 2x-5a undoes the multiplication by 2x-5a.
