c=\frac{3}{5}b^{2}-\frac{2}{5}a
Divide each term of 3b^{2}-2a by 5 to get \frac{3}{5}b^{2}-\frac{2}{5}a.
\frac{3}{5}b^{2}-\frac{2}{5}a=c
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{2}{5}a=c-\frac{3}{5}b^{2}
Subtract \frac{3}{5}b^{2} from both sides.
-\frac{2}{5}a=-\frac{3b^{2}}{5}+c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-\frac{2}{5}a}{-\frac{2}{5}}=\frac{-\frac{3b^{2}}{5}+c}{-\frac{2}{5}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{2}{5}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
a=\frac{-\frac{3b^{2}}{5}+c}{-\frac{2}{5}}
Dividing by -\frac{2}{5} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{2}{5}.
a=\frac{3b^{2}-5c}{2}
Divide c-\frac{3b^{2}}{5} by -\frac{2}{5} by multiplying c-\frac{3b^{2}}{5} by the reciprocal of -\frac{2}{5}.
