2b+3+ab=0
Add -3 and 6 to get 3.
3+ab=-2b
Subtract 2b from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
ab=-2b-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
ba=-2b-3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{ba}{b}=\frac{-2b-3}{b}
Divide both sides by b.
a=\frac{-2b-3}{b}
Dividing by b undoes the multiplication by b.
a=-2-\frac{3}{b}
Divide -2b-3 by b.
2b+3+ab=0
Add -3 and 6 to get 3.
2b+ab=-3
Subtract 3 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(2+a\right)b=-3
Combine all terms containing b.
\left(a+2\right)b=-3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(a+2\right)b}{a+2}=-\frac{3}{a+2}
Divide both sides by 2+a.
b=-\frac{3}{a+2}
Dividing by 2+a undoes the multiplication by 2+a.
