9a-2b-4a=c
Subtract 4a from both sides.
5a-2b=c
Combine 9a and -4a to get 5a.
5a=c+2b
Add 2b to both sides.
5a=2b+c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5a}{5}=\frac{2b+c}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
a=\frac{2b+c}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
-2b=c+4a-9a
Subtract 9a from both sides.
-2b=c-5a
Combine 4a and -9a to get -5a.
\frac{-2b}{-2}=\frac{c-5a}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
b=\frac{c-5a}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
b=\frac{5a-c}{2}
Divide c-5a by -2.
