First, you need to get everything that has an x in it to one side of the equal sign, and everything without an x in it to the other side. For this equation, we can move a to the right side of the equal sign by adding a to each side of the equation. Then, we can move cx to the left side of the equal sign by subtracting it from both sides of the equation. We end up with something that looks like this: yx - cx = a. Then, you can factor out x on the left side of the equal sign since both terms contain it. You now have x(y-c) = a. Finally, divide (y-c) from both sides of the equal sign, leaving you with the final answer:
