3a-2=7x+8
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3a=7x+8+2
Add 2 to both sides.
3a=7x+10

Divide both sides by 3.
a=\frac{7x+10}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
7x=3a-2-8

7x=3a-10
Subtract 8 from -2 to get -10.
\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{3a-10}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=\frac{3a-10}{7}
