a=(c x-b d)/(z)

Explanation:

Given data: az + bd = cx

To find a, we should first align the expression.

Shift bd to right side of the expression cx.

โ‡’ az = cx โ€“ bd

Now, divide both sides of the expression by z.


\Rightarrow (a z)/(z)=(c x-b d)/(z)


\Rightarrow a=(c x-b d)/(z)

We get
a=(c x-b d)/(z).

Hence the value of a is
(c x-b d)/(z).
