\left(gx+p\right)a=\left(dx+c\right)e
Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(dx+c\right)\left(gx+p\right), the least common multiple of c+dx,p+gx.
gxa+pa=\left(dx+c\right)e
Use the distributive property to multiply gx+p by a.
gxa+pa=dxe+ce
Use the distributive property to multiply dx+c by e.
\left(gx+p\right)a=dxe+ce
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(gx+p\right)a=edx+ec
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(gx+p\right)a}{gx+p}=\frac{e\left(dx+c\right)}{gx+p}
Divide both sides by p+gx.
a=\frac{e\left(dx+c\right)}{gx+p}
Dividing by p+gx undoes the multiplication by p+gx.
