\left(-a\right)x=c-bx
Subtract bx from both sides.
-ax=-bx+c
Reorder the terms.
\left(-x\right)a=c-bx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x\right)a}{-x}=\frac{c-bx}{-x}
Divide both sides by -x.
a=\frac{c-bx}{-x}
Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.
a=b-\frac{c}{x}
Divide c-bx by -x.
bx=c-\left(-a\right)x
Subtract \left(-a\right)x from both sides.
bx=c+ax
Multiply -1 and -1 to get 1.
xb=ax+c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xb}{x}=\frac{ax+c}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
b=\frac{ax+c}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
b=a+\frac{c}{x}
Divide c+ax by x.
