2a-2x+3b=3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by a-x.
2a+3b=3x+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
2a+3b=5x
Combine 3x and 2x to get 5x.
2a=5x-3b
Subtract 3b from both sides.
\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{5x-3b}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
a=\frac{5x-3b}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
2a-2x+3b=3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by a-x.
-2x+3b=3x-2a

3b=3x-2a+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
3b=5x-2a
Combine 3x and 2x to get 5x.
\frac{3b}{3}=\frac{5x-2a}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
b=\frac{5x-2a}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
