ax^{2}+b=3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ax^{2}=3-b
Subtract b from both sides.
x^{2}a=3-b
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}a}{x^{2}}=\frac{3-b}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
a=\frac{3-b}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
