x^{2}-2ax-6ab=9b^{2}
Subtract 6ab from both sides.
-2ax-6ab=9b^{2}-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
\left(-2x-6b\right)a=9b^{2}-x^{2}
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(-2x-6b\right)a}{-2x-6b}=\frac{9b^{2}-x^{2}}{-2x-6b}
Divide both sides by -2x-6b.
a=\frac{9b^{2}-x^{2}}{-2x-6b}
Dividing by -2x-6b undoes the multiplication by -2x-6b.
a=\frac{x-3b}{2}
Divide 9b^{2}-x^{2} by -2x-6b.
x^{2}-2ax-6ab=9b^{2}
