We have to isolate x on one side of the equation in order to solve the equation.
So, the very first step would be to divide both the sides by a.

This will leave us with:

bx = d/a

Next divide both sides by b to get x on the left hand side giving us the answer to the equation.

So, the answer to this question is "a"
