Question 199915
{{{ax+b=cx+d}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{ax=cx+d-b}}} Subtract "b" from both sides.



{{{ax-cx=d-b}}} Subtract cx from both sides.



{{{x(a-c)=d-b}}} Factor out the GCF "x"



{{{x=(d-b)/(a-c)}}} Divide both sides by {{{a-c}}}.




So the solution is {{{x=(d-b)/(a-c)}}}
