SOLUTION: Solve for x: {{{a/(bx)}}} + {{{c/d}}} = e

Question 552200: Solve for x:
+ = e

 +  = e

 +  = 

To clear of fractions, multiply through by LCD of 

 +  = 

 +  = 

da + bxc = bdxe

Get all terms in x on the right by subtracting bxc from both sides:

      da = bdxe - bxc

Factor bx out of the right side:

      da = bx(de - c)

Divide both sides by b(de - c)

 = 

 = 

 = x

x =
