a=\left(2b+2\left(-\frac{x}{4}\right)\right)c
Use the distributive property to multiply b-\frac{x}{4} by 2.
a=\left(2b+\frac{x}{-2}\right)c
Cancel out 4, the greatest common factor in 2 and 4.
a=2bc+\frac{x}{-2}c
Use the distributive property to multiply 2b+\frac{x}{-2} by c.
a=2bc+\frac{xc}{-2}
Express \frac{x}{-2}c as a single fraction.
2bc+\frac{xc}{-2}=a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2bc=a-\frac{xc}{-2}
Subtract \frac{xc}{-2} from both sides.
-4bc=-2a-xc
Multiply both sides of the equation by -2.
-4bc=-cx-2a
Reorder the terms.
\left(-4c\right)b=-cx-2a
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-4c\right)b}{-4c}=\frac{-cx-2a}{-4c}
Divide both sides by -4c.
b=\frac{-cx-2a}{-4c}
Dividing by -4c undoes the multiplication by -4c.
b=\frac{x}{4}+\frac{a}{2c}
Divide -2a-cx by -4c.
a=\left(2b+2\left(-\frac{x}{4}\right)\right)c
Use the distributive property to multiply b-\frac{x}{4} by 2.
a=\left(2b+\frac{x}{-2}\right)c
Cancel out 4, the greatest common factor in 2 and 4.
a=2bc+\frac{x}{-2}c
Use the distributive property to multiply 2b+\frac{x}{-2} by c.
a=2bc+\frac{xc}{-2}
Express \frac{x}{-2}c as a single fraction.
2bc+\frac{xc}{-2}=a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2bc=a-\frac{xc}{-2}
Subtract \frac{xc}{-2} from both sides.
-4bc=-2a-xc
Multiply both sides of the equation by -2.
-4bc=-cx-2a
Reorder the terms.
\left(-4c\right)b=-cx-2a
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-4c\right)b}{-4c}=\frac{-cx-2a}{-4c}
Divide both sides by -4c.
b=\frac{-cx-2a}{-4c}
Dividing by -4c undoes the multiplication by -4c.
b=\frac{x}{4}+\frac{a}{2c}
Divide -2a-cx by -4c.
