Answer:


x = (a-c)/(b)

Explanation:

================================

To make 'x' the subject of the formula means that we have to solve for x.


a = bx + c\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\bx + c = a \leftarrow \text{Switched Sides}\\\\bx + c - c = a - c\\\\bx = a - c\\\\(bx=a-c)/(b)\\\\\boxed{x = (a-c)/(b)}

================================

Hope this helps!
