literal equation:

Question

solve for x
ax=bx-c

Answer 1

ax=bx-c
ax - bx = -c
x(a-b) = -c
x = -c/(a-b) or c/(b-a)

Answer 2

ok I was getting confused on pulling the x to one side, thank you for explaining out.
now if I had to put in specific question
8x=3x-10, would I -3x on both sides
8x-3x=-10
5x=-10
x=-2??

Answer 3

yes, good job
