a+ab=6ab+4b
Combine 4ab and -3ab to get ab.
a+ab-6ab=4b
Subtract 6ab from both sides.
a-5ab=4b
Combine ab and -6ab to get -5ab.
\left(1-5b\right)a=4b
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(1-5b\right)a}{1-5b}=\frac{4b}{1-5b}
Divide both sides by -5b+1.
a=\frac{4b}{1-5b}
Dividing by -5b+1 undoes the multiplication by -5b+1.
a+ab=6ab+4b
Combine 4ab and -3ab to get ab.
a+ab-6ab=4b
Subtract 6ab from both sides.
a-5ab=4b
Combine ab and -6ab to get -5ab.
a-5ab-4b=0
Subtract 4b from both sides.
-5ab-4b=-a
Subtract a from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(-5a-4\right)b=-a
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(-5a-4\right)b}{-5a-4}=-\frac{a}{-5a-4}
Divide both sides by -4-5a.
b=-\frac{a}{-5a-4}
Dividing by -4-5a undoes the multiplication by -4-5a.
b=\frac{a}{5a+4}
Divide -a by -4-5a.
