How do you solve this problem for x: ax+bx=c. I'm doing my homework and I'm drawing a complete blank.

ax+bx = c
x(a+b) = c
x = c/(a+b)

ax+bx=c
On the left hand side you have x as common. Take it as common
x (a + b) = c
divide both sides with (a + b)
x (a + b) / (a + b) = c / (a + b)
x = c / (a + b)

ax + bx = c
x(a + b) = c
x = c / (a + b)
Answer: x = c / (a + b)

do it just like the first poster showed. You factor out the x: x(a+b)=C.....and then you divide C by (a+b) so that you get x by itself on one side...so then you know that x=C/(a+b)
