Taking the reciprocal of both sides give us:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28x%2Ba%29%2F3+=2%2Fb\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3+%28x%2Ba%29%2F3+=3%2A2%2Fb\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract a from both sides:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Ba-a=6%2Fb-a\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=6%2Fb-a\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
