-2a=4+3b
Add 3b to both sides.
-2a=3b+4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2a}{-2}=\frac{3b+4}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
a=\frac{3b+4}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
a=-\frac{3b}{2}-2
Divide 4+3b by -2.
-3b=4+2a
Add 2a to both sides.
-3b=2a+4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3b}{-3}=\frac{2a+4}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
b=\frac{2a+4}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
b=\frac{-2a-4}{3}
Divide 4+2a by -3.
