\left(-a\right)x=b-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-ax=-3x+b
Reorder the terms.
\left(-x\right)a=b-3x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x\right)a}{-x}=\frac{b-3x}{-x}
Divide both sides by -x.
a=\frac{b-3x}{-x}
Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.
a=-\frac{b}{x}+3
Divide -3x+b by -x.
\left(-a\right)x=b-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-ax=-3x+b
Reorder the terms.

Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.
a=-\frac{b}{x}+3
Divide -3x+b by -x.
b=\left(-a\right)x+3x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
b=-ax+3x
Reorder the terms.
