1c+\frac{5}{2}b-\frac{3}{2}bc=5
Use the distributive property to multiply b by \frac{5}{2}-\frac{3}{2}c.
\frac{5}{2}b-\frac{3}{2}bc=5-c
Subtract 1c from both sides.
\left(\frac{5}{2}-\frac{3}{2}c\right)b=5-c
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{5-3c}{2}b=5-c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2\times \frac{5-3c}{2}b}{5-3c}=\frac{2\left(5-c\right)}{5-3c}
Divide both sides by \frac{5}{2}-\frac{3}{2}c.
b=\frac{2\left(5-c\right)}{5-3c}
Dividing by \frac{5}{2}-\frac{3}{2}c undoes the multiplication by \frac{5}{2}-\frac{3}{2}c.
1c+\frac{5}{2}b-\frac{3}{2}bc=5
Use the distributive property to multiply b by \frac{5}{2}-\frac{3}{2}c.
1c-\frac{3}{2}bc=5-\frac{5}{2}b
Subtract \frac{5}{2}b from both sides.
-\frac{3}{2}bc+c=-\frac{5}{2}b+5
Reorder the terms.
\left(-\frac{3}{2}b+1\right)c=-\frac{5}{2}b+5
Combine all terms containing c.
\left(-\frac{3b}{2}+1\right)c=-\frac{5b}{2}+5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-\frac{3b}{2}+1\right)c}{-\frac{3b}{2}+1}=\frac{-\frac{5b}{2}+5}{-\frac{3b}{2}+1}
Divide both sides by 1-\frac{3}{2}b.
c=\frac{-\frac{5b}{2}+5}{-\frac{3b}{2}+1}
Dividing by 1-\frac{3}{2}b undoes the multiplication by 1-\frac{3}{2}b.
c=\frac{5\left(2-b\right)}{2-3b}
Divide -\frac{5b}{2}+5 by 1-\frac{3}{2}b.
