Solve for x a(x+b)=c

$a (x + b) = c$

Step 1

Divide each term in $a (x + b) = c$ by $a$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $a (x + b) = c$ by $a$ .

$\frac{a (x + b)}{a} = \frac{c}{a}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $a$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{a (x + b)}{a} = \frac{c}{a}$

Divide $x + b$ by $1$ .

$x + b = \frac{c}{a}$

Step 2

Subtract $b$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = \frac{c}{a} - b$
