ax+bx=pn+cxp
Multiply both sides of the equation by p.
ax=pn+cxp-bx
Subtract bx from both sides.
xa=cpx-bx+np
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xa}{x}=\frac{cpx-bx+np}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
a=\frac{cpx-bx+np}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
a=cp+\frac{np}{x}-b
Divide pn+cxp-bx by x.
ax+bx=pn+cxp
Multiply both sides of the equation by p.
bx=pn+cxp-ax
Subtract ax from both sides.
xb=cpx-ax+np
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xb}{x}=\frac{cpx-ax+np}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
b=\frac{cpx-ax+np}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
b=cp+\frac{np}{x}-a
Divide pn+cxp-ax by x.
