7a-2b-5a=b
Subtract 5a from both sides.
2a-2b=b
Combine 7a and -5a to get 2a.
2a=b+2b
Add 2b to both sides.
2a=3b
Combine b and 2b to get 3b.
\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{3b}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
a=\frac{3b}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
7a-2b-b=5a
Subtract b from both sides.
7a-3b=5a
Combine -2b and -b to get -3b.
-3b=5a-7a
Subtract 7a from both sides.
-3b=-2a
Combine 5a and -7a to get -2a.
\frac{-3b}{-3}=-\frac{2a}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
b=-\frac{2a}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
b=\frac{2a}{3}
Divide -2a by -3.
