y-ax=v-ab

Solution for y-ax=v-ab equation:

Simplifying
y + -1ax = v + -1ab

Reorder the terms:
-1ax + y = v + -1ab

Reorder the terms:
-1ax + y = -1ab + v

Solving
-1ax + y = -1ab + v

Solving for variable 'a'.

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

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

Reorder the terms:
ab + -1ax + y = -1ab + ab + v

Combine like terms: -1ab + ab = 0
ab + -1ax + y = 0 + v
ab + -1ax + y = v

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

Combine like terms: y + -1y = 0
ab + -1ax + 0 = v + -1y
ab + -1ax = v + -1y

Reorder the terms:
ab + -1ax + -1v + y = v + -1v + -1y + y

Combine like terms: v + -1v = 0
ab + -1ax + -1v + y = 0 + -1y + y
ab + -1ax + -1v + y = -1y + y

Combine like terms: -1y + y = 0
ab + -1ax + -1v + y = 0
