Look at the common factors on both sides

d(a-b) = b(c-d)

What you want to do now is unclear, but go for it.
Yes Steve it's correct
So for this next equation
(a-b )d = b(c- d )
d=[ ]
can I divide both sides is this equation by a-b would it safe t0 say d=db
You divide both sides by (a-b), not by a - b

d = b(c-d)/(a-b)
