When you have simple operation :

𝑎 − 𝑏𝑥 = 𝑐
You want to have all the x on the same sides, so you can do −𝑐 and + 𝑏𝑥, then we have :

𝑎 − 𝑐 = 𝑏𝑥
When you have fraction :

𝑎 𝑐
− =0
(𝑏𝑥 − 𝑒) 𝑑
𝑐
You want to have numbers on each side, so you can make + 𝑑
and then we have :
𝑎 𝑐
=
(𝑏𝑥 − 𝑒) 𝑑
If you have something with x on the bottom, the goal is to make it on the OTHER side top. You
can just multiply : ∗ (𝑏𝑥 − 𝑒). Then you have :
𝑐
𝑎= ∗ (𝑏𝑥 − 𝑒)
𝑑
𝑐 𝑑
Then you want to remove 𝑑
so you have to multiply by the opposite, so ∗ 𝑐 , then we have :

𝑑
𝑎∗ = 𝑏𝑥 − 𝑒
𝑐
Then we have a number alone in a subtraction, so we need to add the opposite, so here + e ,
then we have :
𝑑
𝑎∗ + 𝑒 = 𝑏𝑥
𝑐
And we calculating we have :
𝑎∗𝑑 𝑒
+ = 𝑏𝑥
𝑐 1
So, we need to add the two fraction by making in with the same bottom, so multiply by the other
bottom, then we have :
(𝑎 ∗ 𝑑) + (𝑐 ∗ 𝑒)
= 𝑏𝑥
𝑐
The last step is to set the x alone, because it is x multiply by b we have to multiply by the
1
opposite, so by 𝑏 , then we have the final equation :

(𝑎 ∗ 𝑑) + (𝑐 ∗ 𝑒)
=𝑥
𝑐∗𝑏
