Solve for x c/b=x/a

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

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{x}{a} = \frac{c}{b}$ .

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

Step 2

Multiply both sides by $a$ .

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

Step 3

Simplify.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $a$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Rewrite the expression.

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

Simplify the right side.

Combine $\frac{c}{b}$ and $a$ .

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