-xc-1=-ab
Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
-ab=-xc-1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-ab=-cx-1
Reorder the terms.
\left(-b\right)a=-cx-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-b\right)a}{-b}=\frac{-cx-1}{-b}
Divide both sides by -b.
a=\frac{-cx-1}{-b}
Dividing by -b undoes the multiplication by -b.
a=\frac{cx+1}{b}
Divide -1-xc by -b.
-xc-1=-ab
Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
-ab=-xc-1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-ab=-cx-1
Reorder the terms.
\left(-a\right)b=-cx-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-a\right)b}{-a}=\frac{-cx-1}{-a}
Divide both sides by -a.
b=\frac{-cx-1}{-a}
Dividing by -a undoes the multiplication by -a.
b=\frac{cx+1}{a}
Divide -1-xc by -a.
-xc-1=-ab
