ax+b-a=bx
Subtract a from both sides.
ax-a=bx-b
Subtract b from both sides.
\left(x-1\right)a=bx-b
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(x-1\right)a}{x-1}=\frac{b\left(x-1\right)}{x-1}
Divide both sides by -1+x.
a=\frac{b\left(x-1\right)}{x-1}
Dividing by -1+x undoes the multiplication by -1+x.
a=b
Divide b\left(-1+x\right) by -1+x.
ax+b-bx=a
Subtract bx from both sides.
b-bx=a-ax
Subtract ax from both sides.
\left(1-x\right)b=a-ax
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(1-x\right)b}{1-x}=\frac{a-ax}{1-x}
Divide both sides by 1-x.
b=\frac{a-ax}{1-x}
Dividing by 1-x undoes the multiplication by 1-x.
b=a
Divide a-ax by 1-x.
ax+b-a=bx
Subtract a from both sides.
ax-a=bx-b
Subtract b from both sides.
\left(x-1\right)a=bx-b
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(x-1\right)a}{x-1}=\frac{b\left(x-1\right)}{x-1}

Subtract bx from both sides.
b-bx=a-ax
Subtract ax from both sides.
\left(1-x\right)b=a-ax
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(1-x\right)b}{1-x}=\frac{a-ax}{1-x}
Divide both sides by 1-x.
b=\frac{a-ax}{1-x}
Dividing by 1-x undoes the multiplication by 1-x.
b=a
Divide a-ax by 1-x.
