Ax%2Bb=c


Ax%2Bb-b=c-b Subtract b from both sides (to undo the +b).


Ax=c-b The b goes away on the left side (since b-b = 0)


Ax%2FA=%28c-b%29%2FA Divide both sides by A to undo the multiplication of A to x.


x=%28c-b%29%2FA Since A/A = 1, the A terms cancel on the left side


Final Answer: x=%28c-b%29%2FA
