yx-a=cx    add a to both sides

 

yx  = cx + a     subtract  cx from both sides

 

yx - cx = a    factor out x on the left

 

x( y - c)  = a    divide both sides by (y - c)

 

x =  a /(y -c)

 

 

cool cool cool

Here it is step by step:

 

Solve for x:
x y-a = c x
Isolate x to the left hand side.
Subtract c x-a from both sides:
x (y-c) = a
Solve for x.
Divide both sides by y-c:
Answer: | 
| x = a/(y-c)
