Solution for a(x-b)=3ax equation:


Simplifying
a(x + -1b) = 3ax

Reorder the terms:
a(-1b + x) = 3ax
(-1b * a + x * a) = 3ax
(-1ab + ax) = 3ax

Solving
-1ab + ax = 3ax

Solving for variable 'a'.

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

Add '-3ax' to each side of the equation.
-1ab + ax + -3ax = 3ax + -3ax

Combine like terms: ax + -3ax = -2ax
-1ab + -2ax = 3ax + -3ax

Combine like terms: 3ax + -3ax = 0
-1ab + -2ax = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1a'.
-1a(b + 2x) = 0

Ignore the factor -1.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'a' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying a = 0 Solving a = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying a = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(b + 2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying b + 2x = 0 Solving b + 2x = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1b' to each side of the equation. b + -1b + 2x = 0 + -1b Combine like terms: b + -1b = 0 0 + 2x = 0 + -1b 2x = 0 + -1b Remove the zero: 2x = -1b Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. 2x + -2x = -1b + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 0 = -1b + -2x Simplifying 0 = -1b + -2x The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
