Solve the equation for x.

ax+bx=c

x = c/a + b

Step-by-step explanation: I have put the variable x in purple in the image that I have made so you can see it better.

Notice that the variable we are solving for in

this problem appears in 2 separate terms.

In this situation, we must factor the x out

of both terms to get x(a + b) = c.

Think about it as the reverse of the distributive property.

In other words, if we take our second step and distribute the x

through the parentheses, we end up back at our first step.

The beauty of factoring is that the two x's in this problem

have now been combined into one x and we can get x

by itself by dividing both sides by a + b.

This gives us x = c/a + b.
