2\left(x-1\right)b-cb=2\left(x-b\right)
Variable b cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by b.
\left(2x-2\right)b-cb=2\left(x-b\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-1.
2xb-2b-cb=2\left(x-b\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-2 by b.
2xb-2b-cb=2x-2b
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-b.
2xb-2b-cb+2b=2x
Add 2b to both sides.
2xb-cb=2x
Combine -2b and 2b to get 0.
\left(2x-c\right)b=2x
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(2x-c\right)b}{2x-c}=\frac{2x}{2x-c}
Divide both sides by 2x-c.
b=\frac{2x}{2x-c}
Dividing by 2x-c undoes the multiplication by 2x-c.
b=\frac{2x}{2x-c}\text{, }b\neq 0
Variable b cannot be equal to 0.
2\left(x-1\right)b-cb=2\left(x-b\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by b.
\left(2x-2\right)b-cb=2\left(x-b\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-1.
2xb-2b-cb=2\left(x-b\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-2 by b.
2xb-2b-cb=2x-2b
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-b.
-2b-cb=2x-2b-2xb
Subtract 2xb from both sides.
-cb=2x-2b-2xb+2b
Add 2b to both sides.
-cb=2x-2xb
Combine -2b and 2b to get 0.
\left(-b\right)c=2x-2bx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-b\right)c}{-b}=\frac{2x-2bx}{-b}
Divide both sides by -b.
c=\frac{2x-2bx}{-b}
Dividing by -b undoes the multiplication by -b.
c=2x-\frac{2x}{b}
Divide 2x-2xb by -b.
