solve ab-cd=0 for c

ab-cd=0

Isolate the term in c, namely cd, by adding cd to both sides:

ab=cd

Divide both sides by the coefficient of c, which is d

%28ab%29%2Fd=%28cd%29%2Fd

The d's cancel:

%28ab%29%2Fd=%28c%2Across%28d%29%29%2Fcross%28d%29

%28ab%29%2Fd=c

Or if you prefer:

c=%28ab%29%2Fd
