First be careful not to change from upper case to lower case like you did when you posted your question. It didn't matter on this problem because there was not a mixture of upper and lower case letters. But some formulas do and "A" would not be the same as "a."
:
Second, we want "x" all by itself on one side of the equal sign. What ever we do to accomplish that, we have to do to both sides of the equal sign.
:
Ax-B=0 (B doesn't have an x and is - so add B to both sides.)
Ax-B+B=0+B
Ax+0=B
Ax=B (There's nothing between A and x, that means they're being multiplied, so we divide A on both sides.)
Ax/A=B/A
x=B/A
Happy Calculating!!!
