x^{2}-2ax-6ab=-3bx
Subtract 6ab from both sides.
-2ax-6ab=-3bx-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
\left(-2x-6b\right)a=-3bx-x^{2}
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(-2x-6b\right)a=-x^{2}-3bx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-2x-6b\right)a}{-2x-6b}=-\frac{x\left(x+3b\right)}{-2x-6b}
Divide both sides by -2x-6b.
a=-\frac{x\left(x+3b\right)}{-2x-6b}
Dividing by -2x-6b undoes the multiplication by -2x-6b.
a=\frac{x}{2}
Divide -x\left(3b+x\right) by -2x-6b.
6ab-3bx=x^{2}-2ax
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(6a-3x\right)b=x^{2}-2ax
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(6a-3x\right)b}{6a-3x}=\frac{x\left(x-2a\right)}{6a-3x}
Divide both sides by 6a-3x.
b=\frac{x\left(x-2a\right)}{6a-3x}
Dividing by 6a-3x undoes the multiplication by 6a-3x.
b=-\frac{x}{3}
Divide x\left(x-2a\right) by 6a-3x.
x^{2}-2ax-6ab=-3bx
Subtract 6ab from both sides.
-2ax-6ab=-3bx-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
\left(-2x-6b\right)a=-3bx-x^{2}

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