\frac{2}{27}a^{3}-\frac{ab}{3}+c=q
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{ab}{3}+c=q-\frac{2}{27}a^{3}
Subtract \frac{2}{27}a^{3} from both sides.
-\frac{ab}{3}=q-\frac{2}{27}a^{3}-c
Subtract c from both sides.
-9ab=27q-2a^{3}-27c
Multiply both sides of the equation by 27, the least common multiple of 3,27.
\left(-9a\right)b=27q-2a^{3}-27c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-9a\right)b}{-9a}=\frac{27q-2a^{3}-27c}{-9a}
Divide both sides by -9a.
b=\frac{27q-2a^{3}-27c}{-9a}
Dividing by -9a undoes the multiplication by -9a.
b=-\frac{27q-2a^{3}-27c}{9a}
Divide 27q-2a^{3}-27c by -9a.
