bx-bc+cx=S
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
bx-bc=S-cx
Subtract cx from both sides.
\left(x-c\right)b=S-cx
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(x-c\right)b}{x-c}=\frac{S-cx}{x-c}
Divide both sides by x-c.
b=\frac{S-cx}{x-c}
Dividing by x-c undoes the multiplication by x-c.
