4b+100-a-2a=0
Subtract 2a from both sides.
4b+100-3a=0
Combine -a and -2a to get -3a.
100-3a=-4b
Subtract 4b from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-3a=-4b-100
Subtract 100 from both sides.
\frac{-3a}{-3}=\frac{-4b-100}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
a=\frac{-4b-100}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
a=\frac{4b+100}{3}
Divide -4b-100 by -3.
4b-a=2a-100
Subtract 100 from both sides.
4b=2a-100+a
Add a to both sides.
4b=3a-100
Combine 2a and a to get 3a.
\frac{4b}{4}=\frac{3a-100}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
b=\frac{3a-100}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
b=\frac{3a}{4}-25
Divide 3a-100 by 4.
