3a\times 2b+1=2b\times 2b
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2b.
6ab+1=2b\times 2b
Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.
6ab+1=2b^{2}\times 2
Multiply b and b to get b^{2}.
6ab+1=4b^{2}
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
6ab=4b^{2}-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
6ba=4b^{2}-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{6ba}{6b}=\frac{4b^{2}-1}{6b}
Divide both sides by 6b.
a=\frac{4b^{2}-1}{6b}
Dividing by 6b undoes the multiplication by 6b.
a=\frac{2b}{3}-\frac{1}{6b}
Divide 4b^{2}-1 by 6b.
