First get rid of all the denominators by multiplying by the LCD.
LCD = acx
acx(4/a) - acx(7/c) = acx(9/x)
4cx - 7ax = 9ac
Put the terms with c on the same side (so you will need to subtract 4cx from each side).
-7ax = 9ac - 4cx
Factor c on the right side
-7ax = c(9a-4x)
Divide both sides by 9a-4x
c = -7ax/(9a-4x)
Now just to make it look a little nicer, multiply the top and bottom by -1.
c = 7ax/(4x-9a)

multiply the equation thru by the lcd of all the terms. In this case that is acx.
That gives you 4cx - 7ax = 9ac
Isolate all the terms with c on one side of the equation:
4cx - 9ac = 7ax
factor out the c from the left side:
c(4x - 9a) = 7ax
The last step is up to you
