I'll do the first one to get you started.

# 1

a%283tx-2b%29+=+c%28dx-2%29+ Start with the given equation.


3atx-2ab=cdx-2c+ Distribute


3atx=cdx-2c%2B2ab+ Add 2ab to both sides.


3atx-cdx=-2c%2B2ab+ Subtract cdx from both sides.


x%283at-cd%29=-2c%2B2ab+ Factor out the GCF 'x'


x=%28-2c%2B2ab%29%2F%283at-cd%29+ Divide both sides by 3at-cd.
