Basic Math Examples

$3 a = 2 b - 1$

Step 1

Divide each term in $3 a = 2 b - 1$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 a}{3} = \frac{2 b}{3} + \frac{- 1}{3}$

Step 2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 a}{3} = \frac{2 b}{3} + \frac{- 1}{3}$

Step 2.1.2

Divide $a$ by $1$ .

$a = \frac{2 b}{3} + \frac{- 1}{3}$

$a = \frac{2 b}{3} + \frac{- 1}{3}$

$a = \frac{2 b}{3} + \frac{- 1}{3}$
