x=−a−bc
Evaluate
x+ac=0×x2+ab×x
Simplify
More Steps

Evaluate
0×x2+ab×x
Any expression multiplied by 0 equals 0
0+ab×x
Multiply the terms
0+abx
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
abx
x+ac=abx
Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD
(x+ac)a=abx×a
Simplify the equation

Evaluate
(x+ac)a
Apply the distributive property
xa+ac×a
Simplify
xa+c
Multiply the terms
ax+c
ax+c=abx×a
Simplify the equation
ax+c=bx
Move the variable to the left side
ax+c−bx=0
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(a−b)x+c=0
Move the constant to the right side
(a−b)x=0−c
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
(a−b)x=−c
Divide both sides
a−b(a−b)x=a−b−c
Divide the numbers
x=a−b−c
Solution
x=−a−bc
