Step 1. Multiply both sides by cx+d
ax+d = e (cx+d)

Step 2. Distribute

ax+b = ecx + ed

Step 3. Subtract b from both sides

ax = ecx + ed - b

Step 4. Subtract ecx from both sides

ax - ecx = ed - b

Step 5. Factor our x from the right side

x(a-ec) = ed - b

Step 6. Divide both sides by a-ec

x = (ed-b) / (a-ec)
