2ax+a=x-1-b
Subtract b from both sides.
\left(2x+1\right)a=x-1-b
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(2x+1\right)a=x-b-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2x+1\right)a}{2x+1}=\frac{x-b-1}{2x+1}
Divide both sides by 2x+1.
a=\frac{x-b-1}{2x+1}
Dividing by 2x+1 undoes the multiplication by 2x+1.
2ax+a=x-1-b
Subtract b from both sides.
