ax-c=c(x-d)
ax-c= cx-cd
+c +c
ax=cx-cd+c
divide a
x=cx-cd+c
-----------
a

Always get rid of your brackets first so multiply c through
ax - c = cx - cd
Get all variables involving x on one side and all others on the opposite
ax - cx = c + cd
Isolate for x
x(a - c) = c + cd
Divide both sides by (a - c)
x = c + cd / a - c
You could simplify it further by saying...
x = c( 1 + d ) / a - c
But it doesn't really make a difference

a * x - c = c * (x - d)
a * x - c = c * x - c * d
a* x - c * x = c - c * d
x * (a - c) = c * (1 - d)
x = [c * (1-d) / (a - c)]
