Question 16585
The first step is to get all the x terms on one side, in this case, by adding +x to each side of the equation:

ax=c-x
ax +x = c-x+x
ax+x = c


Next, you have to get the x in one place, so you can solve for it.  Do this by factoring out the common factor of x.


x(a+1)=c


Finally, divide both sides by (a+1):

{{{(x*(a+1))/(a+1)=c/(a+1) }}}


{{{x = c/(a+1)}}}
