ab=7\left(3b-c\right)
Variable b cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by b.
ab=21b-7c
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by 3b-c.
ab-21b=-7c
Subtract 21b from both sides.
\left(a-21\right)b=-7c
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(a-21\right)b}{a-21}=-\frac{7c}{a-21}
Divide both sides by a-21.
b=-\frac{7c}{a-21}
Dividing by a-21 undoes the multiplication by a-21.
b=-\frac{7c}{a-21}\text{, }b\neq 0
Variable b cannot be equal to 0.
