Solve xe+x+c=x

$$x e + x + c = x$$

Solve for c

$$c=-ex$$

Solution Steps

Subtract xe from both sides.

$$x+c=x-xe$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$c=x-xe-x$$

Combine x and -x to get 0.

$$c=-xe$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{c}{e}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x from both sides.

$$xe+x+c-x=0$$

Combine x and -x to get 0.

$$xe+c=0$$

Subtract c from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$xe=-c$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$ex=-c$$

Divide both sides by e.

$$\frac{ex}{e}=-\frac{c}{e}$$

Dividing by e undoes the multiplication by e.

$$x=-\frac{c}{e}$$
