6a+3b-10a=30
Subtract 10a from both sides.
-4a+3b=30
Combine 6a and -10a to get -4a.
-4a=30-3b
Subtract 3b from both sides.
\frac{-4a}{-4}=\frac{30-3b}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
a=\frac{30-3b}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
a=\frac{3b}{4}-\frac{15}{2}
Divide 30-3b by -4.
3b=10a+30-6a
Subtract 6a from both sides.
3b=4a+30
Combine 10a and -6a to get 4a.
\frac{3b}{3}=\frac{4a+30}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
b=\frac{4a+30}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
b=\frac{4a}{3}+10
Divide 4a+30 by 3.
