7a+5ab=c
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(7+5b\right)a=c
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(5b+7\right)a=c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(5b+7\right)a}{5b+7}=\frac{c}{5b+7}
Divide both sides by 7+5b.
a=\frac{c}{5b+7}
Dividing by 7+5b undoes the multiplication by 7+5b.
7a+5ab=c
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5ab=c-7a
Subtract 7a from both sides.
\frac{5ab}{5a}=\frac{c-7a}{5a}
Divide both sides by 5a.
b=\frac{c-7a}{5a}
Dividing by 5a undoes the multiplication by 5a.
b=\frac{c}{5a}-\frac{7}{5}
Divide c-7a by 5a.
