SOLVE FOR a
mult eq by 2b to get rid of the denominators,results:
:
2a(x-b) + 2b(3x) = 5bc
;
2ax - 2ab + 6bx = 5bc
;
2ax - 2ab = 5bc - 6bx
factor out a
a(2x - 2b) = 5bc - 6bx
a =
or
a =



and then Same problem different SOLVE FOR x
SOLVE FOR x
mult eq by 2b to get rid of the denominators,results:
:
2a(x-b) + 2b(3x) = 5bc
;
2ax - 2ab + 6bx = 5bc
;
2ax + 6bx = 5bc + 2ab
factor out x
x(2a + 6b) = 5bc + 2ab
x =
or
x =
