If you want to solve for x, then...

4cx-b=5b ... Start with the given equation.

4cx-b+b=5b+b ... Add b to both sides.

4cx + 0b = 6b ... Combine like terms.

4cx = 6b ... Simplify

4cx/4c = 6b/4c ... Divide both sides by 4c to fully isolate x.

x = 3b/2c ... Reduce

The final answer is x+=+%283b%29%2F%282c%29
