3a+b=c\times 7a
Combine 2a and 5a to get 7a.
3a+b-c\times 7a=0
Subtract c\times 7a from both sides.
3a+b-7ca=0
Multiply -1 and 7 to get -7.
3a-7ca=-b
Subtract b from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(3-7c\right)a=-b
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(3-7c\right)a}{3-7c}=-\frac{b}{3-7c}
Divide both sides by 3-7c.
a=-\frac{b}{3-7c}
Dividing by 3-7c undoes the multiplication by 3-7c.
