y\times 3\left(a-1\right)\left(a+3\right)=\left(3a+9\right)\left(2a^{2}+4a-6\right)+\left(a-1\right)\left(2a^{2}+4a-6\right)b
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3\left(a-1\right)\left(a+3\right), the least common multiple of a-1,3a+9.
\left(3ya-y\times 3\right)\left(a+3\right)=\left(3a+9\right)\left(2a^{2}+4a-6\right)+\left(a-1\right)\left(2a^{2}+4a-6\right)b
Use the distributive property to multiply y\times 3 by a-1.
\left(3ya-3y\right)\left(a+3\right)=\left(3a+9\right)\left(2a^{2}+4a-6\right)+\left(a-1\right)\left(2a^{2}+4a-6\right)b
Multiply -1 and 3 to get -3.
3ya^{2}+6ya-9y=\left(3a+9\right)\left(2a^{2}+4a-6\right)+\left(a-1\right)\left(2a^{2}+4a-6\right)b
Use the distributive property to multiply 3ya-3y by a+3 and combine like terms.
3ya^{2}+6ya-9y=6a^{3}+30a^{2}+18a-54+\left(a-1\right)\left(2a^{2}+4a-6\right)b
Use the distributive property to multiply 3a+9 by 2a^{2}+4a-6 and combine like terms.
3ya^{2}+6ya-9y=6a^{3}+30a^{2}+18a-54+\left(2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6\right)b
Use the distributive property to multiply a-1 by 2a^{2}+4a-6 and combine like terms.
3ya^{2}+6ya-9y=6a^{3}+30a^{2}+18a-54+2a^{3}b+2a^{2}b-10ab+6b
Use the distributive property to multiply 2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6 by b.
6a^{3}+30a^{2}+18a-54+2a^{3}b+2a^{2}b-10ab+6b=3ya^{2}+6ya-9y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
30a^{2}+18a-54+2a^{3}b+2a^{2}b-10ab+6b=3ya^{2}+6ya-9y-6a^{3}
Subtract 6a^{3} from both sides.
18a-54+2a^{3}b+2a^{2}b-10ab+6b=3ya^{2}+6ya-9y-6a^{3}-30a^{2}
Subtract 30a^{2} from both sides.
-54+2a^{3}b+2a^{2}b-10ab+6b=3ya^{2}+6ya-9y-6a^{3}-30a^{2}-18a
Subtract 18a from both sides.
2a^{3}b+2a^{2}b-10ab+6b=3ya^{2}+6ya-9y-6a^{3}-30a^{2}-18a+54
Add 54 to both sides.
\left(2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6\right)b=3ya^{2}+6ya-9y-6a^{3}-30a^{2}-18a+54
Combine all terms containing b.
\left(2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6\right)b=3ya^{2}+6ay-9y-6a^{3}-30a^{2}-18a+54
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6\right)b}{2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6}=\frac{3\left(a-1\right)\left(a+3\right)\left(y-2a-6\right)}{2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6}
Divide both sides by 2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6.
b=\frac{3\left(a-1\right)\left(a+3\right)\left(y-2a-6\right)}{2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6}
Dividing by 2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6 undoes the multiplication by 2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6.
b=\frac{3\left(y-2a-6\right)}{2\left(a-1\right)}
Divide 3\left(-6+y-2a\right)\left(-1+a\right)\left(3+a\right) by 2a^{3}+2a^{2}-10a+6.
