r=ab+2at
Use the distributive property to multiply a by b+2t.
ab+2at=r
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(b+2t\right)a=r
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(2t+b\right)a=r
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2t+b\right)a}{2t+b}=\frac{r}{2t+b}
Divide both sides by b+2t.
a=\frac{r}{2t+b}
Dividing by b+2t undoes the multiplication by b+2t.
r=ab+2at
Use the distributive property to multiply a by b+2t.
ab+2at=r
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ab=r-2at
Subtract 2at from both sides.
\frac{ab}{a}=\frac{r-2at}{a}
Divide both sides by a.
b=\frac{r-2at}{a}
Dividing by a undoes the multiplication by a.
b=-2t+\frac{r}{a}
Divide r-2ta by a.
