The first step is to get all the x terms on one side, in this case, by adding +x to each side of the equation:
ax=c-x
ax +x = c-x+x
ax+x = c

Next, you have to get the x in one place, so you can solve for it. Do this by factoring out the common factor of x.

x(a+1)=c

Finally, divide both sides by (a+1):
%28x%2A%28a%2B1%29%29%2F%28a%2B1%29=c%2F%28a%2B1%29+

x+=+c%2F%28a%2B1%29
