3a+3b=6a+b
Combine 5a and -2a to get 3a.
3a+3b-6a=b
Subtract 6a from both sides.
-3a+3b=b
Combine 3a and -6a to get -3a.
-3a=b-3b
Subtract 3b from both sides.
-3a=-2b
Combine b and -3b to get -2b.
\frac{-3a}{-3}=-\frac{2b}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
a=-\frac{2b}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
a=\frac{2b}{3}
Divide -2b by -3.
3a+3b=6a+b
Combine 5a and -2a to get 3a.
3a+3b-b=6a
Subtract b from both sides.
3a+2b=6a
Combine 3b and -b to get 2b.
2b=6a-3a
Subtract 3a from both sides.
2b=3a
Combine 6a and -3a to get 3a.
\frac{2b}{2}=\frac{3a}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
b=\frac{3a}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
