x+ca=bc
Multiply both sides of the equation by c.
ca=bc-x
Subtract x from both sides.
\frac{ca}{c}=\frac{bc-x}{c}
Divide both sides by c.
a=\frac{bc-x}{c}
Dividing by c undoes the multiplication by c.
a=b-\frac{x}{c}
Divide bc-x by c.
x+ca=bc
Multiply both sides of the equation by c.
bc=x+ca
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
cb=x+ac
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{cb}{c}=\frac{x+ac}{c}
Divide both sides by c.
b=\frac{x+ac}{c}
Dividing by c undoes the multiplication by c.
b=a+\frac{x}{c}
Divide ac+x by c.
