Question

C+ax=dx


this one has all variables and no numbers

Answer 1

That's OK, but you have not said which variable you want to solve it for.

To solve for 'x':
c + ax = dx

Subtract c from each side: ax = dx - c

Subtract dx from each side: ax - dx = -c

Factor the left side: x (a - d) = -c

Divide each side by (a - d) : x = -c / (a - d) or x = c / (d - a) .

To solve for 'c':
c + ax = dx

Subtract ax from each side and factor: c = x (d - a)

To solve for 'd':
c + ax = dx

Divide each side by 'x': d = c/x + a .

To solve for 'a':
c + ax = dx

Subtract 'c' from each side: ax = dx - c

Divide each side by 'x': a = d - c/x .
