yc\left(x+1\right)=ax+1
Multiply both sides of the equation by c\left(x+1\right).
ycx+yc=ax+1
Use the distributive property to multiply yc by x+1.
ax+1=ycx+yc
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ax=ycx+yc-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
xa=cxy+cy-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xa}{x}=\frac{cxy+cy-1}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
a=\frac{cxy+cy-1}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
yc\left(x+1\right)=ax+1
Multiply both sides of the equation by c\left(x+1\right).
ycx+yc=ax+1
Use the distributive property to multiply yc by x+1.
ax+1=ycx+yc
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ax=ycx+yc-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
xa=cxy+cy-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xa}{x}=\frac{cxy+cy-1}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
a=\frac{cxy+cy-1}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
yc\left(x+1\right)=ax+1
Variable c cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by c\left(x+1\right).
ycx+yc=ax+1
Use the distributive property to multiply yc by x+1.
\left(yx+y\right)c=ax+1
Combine all terms containing c.
\left(xy+y\right)c=ax+1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(xy+y\right)c}{xy+y}=\frac{ax+1}{xy+y}
Divide both sides by xy+y.
c=\frac{ax+1}{xy+y}
Dividing by xy+y undoes the multiplication by xy+y.
c=\frac{ax+1}{y\left(x+1\right)}
Divide ax+1 by xy+y.
c=\frac{ax+1}{y\left(x+1\right)}\text{, }c\neq 0
Variable c cannot be equal to 0.
