a = 8b

Simplifying
a = 8b
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(3a + -1b)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
3a + -1b = 0

Solving
3a + -1b = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'b' to each side of the equation.
3a + -1b + b = 0 + b

Combine like terms: -1b + b = 0
3a + 0 = 0 + b
3a = 0 + b
Remove the zero:
3a = b

Divide each side by '3'.
a = 0.3333333333b

Simplifying
a = 0.3333333333b
Solution
a = {8b, 0.3333333333b}
