5ax-2b=ax-c
add 2b to both sides
5ax=ax+2b-c
subtract ax from both sides
4ax=2b-c
divide both sides by 4a
x=(2b-c)/4a

5ax-2b=ax-c
First, combine like terms...
5ax-2b -ax =ax-c- ax
Now, work to isolate the x...
4ax - 2b = -c
4ax - 2b + 2b = -c+ 2b
4ax = -c+ 2b
4ax / 4a = (-c+ 2b)/4a
x = (-c+ 2b)/4a

Umm... There is no enough information to solve the problem.
4ax - 2b +c = 0
2+_ (Square root) 8 - 4
----------------------------
8
1/2 or 0 = x (Not sure)

(5ax-2b=ax-c)+2b
(5ax=ax-c+2b)-ax
(4ax=2b-c)/4a
x=(2b-c)/4a
