9ax%2B3c-2bx%2B3d=4c-6ax Start with the given equation


9ax-2bx%2B3d=4c-6ax-3cSubtract 3c from both sides


9ax-2bx=4c-6ax-3c-3dSubtract 3d from both sides


9ax-2bx%2B6ax=4c-3c-3d Add 6ax to both sides


15ax-2bx=4c-3c-3d Combine like terms on the left side


15ax-2bx=c-3d Combine like terms on the right side


x%2815a-2b%29=c-3d Factor out an x


x=%28c-3d%29%2F%2815a-2b%29 Divide both sides by 15a-2b
