First step is wrong.

------------------------------------
Question # 1043749,
Solve for x.
(a + x) / b - (c - x) / d = a / b
lcd = bd
(a + x)* bd - (c - x) * db = abd
How do I proceed ?
Non-homework.
-----------------------------------

First step is
bd%28%28a%2Bx%29%2Fb-%28c-x%29%2Fd%29=bd%28a%2Fb%29

Second step is
d%28a%2Bx%29-b%28c-x%29=da

Now continue.
Continue.
