Please help me figure out how to do this: (a-c)/(x-a)=m and solve for x

OpenStudy (ghazi):

multiply both sides by (x-a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok but then what next?

OpenStudy (ghazi):

the use law of distribution to expand...like m(x-a)= mx-ma

OpenStudy (ghazi):

(a-c)=mx-ma (a-c)+ma= mx....is it clear?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh... Ya thanks and then I just divided by m... Right?

OpenStudy (ghazi):

yes

OpenStudy (ghazi):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
