# 1

We need to get x all by itself (ideally on the left side since that's common convention). So do that first. Then rearrange terms and divide both sides by rt to fully isolate x









that finishes up problem #1

--------------------------------------------------------------

# 2

x is already on the left side, and there's only one copy of it, so we just divide both sides by "c-d" to undo the multiplication.





and we're done
