-ay+2ab=-bx
Subtract bx from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(-y+2b\right)a=-bx
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(2b-y\right)a=-bx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2b-y\right)a}{2b-y}=-\frac{bx}{2b-y}
Divide both sides by -y+2b.
a=-\frac{bx}{2b-y}
Dividing by -y+2b undoes the multiplication by -y+2b.
bx+2ab=ay
Add ay to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(x+2a\right)b=ay
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(x+2a\right)b}{x+2a}=\frac{ay}{x+2a}
Divide both sides by x+2a.
b=\frac{ay}{x+2a}
Dividing by x+2a undoes the multiplication by x+2a.
-ay+2ab=-bx
Subtract bx from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(-y+2b\right)a=-bx
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(2b-y\right)a=-bx

bx+2ab=ay
Add ay to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(x+2a\right)b=ay
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(x+2a\right)b}{x+2a}=\frac{ay}{x+2a}
Divide both sides by x+2a.
b=\frac{ay}{x+2a}
Dividing by x+2a undoes the multiplication by x+2a.
