ax-b=dc
Multiply both sides of the equation by c.
ax=dc+b
Add b to both sides.
xa=b+cd
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xa}{x}=\frac{b+cd}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
a=\frac{b+cd}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
a=\frac{cd+b}{x}
Divide b+cd by x.
ax-b=dc
Multiply both sides of the equation by c.
ax=dc+b
Add b to both sides.
xa=b+cd
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xa}{x}=\frac{b+cd}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
a=\frac{b+cd}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
a=\frac{cd+b}{x}
Divide b+cd by x.
ax-b=dc
Multiply both sides of the equation by c.
-b=dc-ax
Subtract ax from both sides.
-b=cd-ax
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-b}{-1}=\frac{cd-ax}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
b=\frac{cd-ax}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
b=ax-cd
Divide dc-ax by -1.
