Solve for x (literal equations):

Question

c = b – bx

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Given: c = b - bx

First, we can start by moving the term with x to one side, using the distributive property:

c + bx = b

Next, we can subtract c from both sides to get rid of the constant term on the left side:

bx = b - c

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by b to solve for x:

x = (b - c)/b
