yb=ax-c
Multiply both sides of the equation by b.
ax-c=yb
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ax=yb+c
Add c to both sides.
xa=by+c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xa}{x}=\frac{by+c}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
a=\frac{by+c}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
yb=ax-c
Multiply both sides of the equation by b.
ax-c=yb
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ax=yb+c
Add c to both sides.
xa=by+c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xa}{x}=\frac{by+c}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
a=\frac{by+c}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
yb=ax-c
Variable b cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by b.
\frac{yb}{y}=\frac{ax-c}{y}
Divide both sides by y.
b=\frac{ax-c}{y}
Dividing by y undoes the multiplication by y.
b=\frac{ax-c}{y}\text{, }b\neq 0
Variable b cannot be equal to 0.
