v=-6a+2b+3\left(b-2c\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3a-b.
v=-6a+2b+3b-6c
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by b-2c.
v=-6a+5b-6c
Combine 2b and 3b to get 5b.
-6a+5b-6c=v
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-6a-6c=v-5b
Subtract 5b from both sides.
-6a=v-5b+6c
Add 6c to both sides.
-6a=v+6c-5b
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-6a}{-6}=\frac{v+6c-5b}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
a=\frac{v+6c-5b}{-6}
Dividing by -6 undoes the multiplication by -6.
a=\frac{5b}{6}-\frac{v}{6}-c
Divide v-5b+6c by -6.
v=-6a+2b+3\left(b-2c\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3a-b.
v=-6a+2b+3b-6c
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by b-2c.
v=-6a+5b-6c
Combine 2b and 3b to get 5b.
-6a+5b-6c=v
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5b-6c=v+6a
Add 6a to both sides.
5b=v+6a+6c
Add 6c to both sides.
\frac{5b}{5}=\frac{v+6a+6c}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
b=\frac{v+6a+6c}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
