1. Problem Description

Given that aa, bb, and cc are non-zero, solve the equation ab=2c\frac{a}{b} = 2c for bb.

2. Solution Steps

We are given the equation:
ab=2c\frac{a}{b} = 2c
We want to solve for bb. First, multiply both sides of the equation by bb:
bab=b2cb \cdot \frac{a}{b} = b \cdot 2c
a=2bca = 2bc
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2c2c to isolate bb:
a2c=2bc2c\frac{a}{2c} = \frac{2bc}{2c}
a2c=b\frac{a}{2c} = b
So, b=a2cb = \frac{a}{2c}.

3. Final Answer

b=a2cb = \frac{a}{2c}
