2x=az+bz
Use the distributive property to multiply a+b by z.
az+bz=2x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
az=2x-bz
Subtract bz from both sides.
za=2x-bz
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{za}{z}=\frac{2x-bz}{z}
Divide both sides by z.
a=\frac{2x-bz}{z}
Dividing by z undoes the multiplication by z.
a=-b+\frac{2x}{z}
Divide 2x-bz by z.
2x=az+bz
Use the distributive property to multiply a+b by z.
az+bz=2x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
bz=2x-az
Subtract az from both sides.
zb=2x-az
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{zb}{z}=\frac{2x-az}{z}
Divide both sides by z.
b=\frac{2x-az}{z}
Dividing by z undoes the multiplication by z.
b=-a+\frac{2x}{z}
Divide 2x-az by z.
