a(b-2)+s(b-2)=

Solution for a(b-2)+s(b-2)= equation:

Simplifying
a(b + -2) + s(b + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
a(-2 + b) + s(b + -2) = 0
(-2 * a + b * a) + s(b + -2) = 0
(-2a + ab) + s(b + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
-2a + ab + s(-2 + b) = 0
-2a + ab + (-2 * s + b * s) = 0

Reorder the terms:
-2a + ab + (bs + -2s) = 0
-2a + ab + (bs + -2s) = 0

Solving
-2a + ab + bs + -2s = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

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

Add '-1bs' to each side of the equation.
-2a + ab + bs + -1bs + -2s = 0 + -1bs

Combine like terms: bs + -1bs = 0
-2a + ab + 0 + -2s = 0 + -1bs
-2a + ab + -2s = 0 + -1bs
Remove the zero:
-2a + ab + -2s = -1bs

Add '2s' to each side of the equation.
-2a + ab + -2s + 2s = -1bs + 2s

Combine like terms: -2s + 2s = 0
-2a + ab + 0 = -1bs + 2s
-2a + ab = -1bs + 2s

Reorder the terms:
-2a + ab + bs + -2s = -1bs + bs + 2s + -2s

Combine like terms: -1bs + bs = 0
-2a + ab + bs + -2s = 0 + 2s + -2s
-2a + ab + bs + -2s = 2s + -2s

Combine like terms: 2s + -2s = 0
-2a + ab + bs + -2s = 0
