2ab=c^{2}-a^{2}
Subtract a^{2} from both sides.
\frac{2ab}{2a}=\frac{\left(c-a\right)\left(a+c\right)}{2a}
Divide both sides by 2a.
b=\frac{\left(c-a\right)\left(a+c\right)}{2a}
Dividing by 2a undoes the multiplication by 2a.
b=\frac{c^{2}}{2a}-\frac{a}{2}
Divide \left(c-a\right)\left(c+a\right) by 2a.
