Hello!

Answer: x=-a/c-b and c≠b

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: → a(b+c)=ab+ac

Solve for x.

First, you had to used their factor.


cx-bx=x(c-b)


x(c-b)=-a

Then you divide by c-b and c≠b


(x(c-b))/(c-b)= (-a)/(c-b); c\\eq b

Simplify.


x=-(a)/(c-b);c \\eq b

Hope this helps!
