Step 1: Subtract b from both sides
2x=c-b
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2
x=(c-b)/2
That's it!

2x+b=c
you must first get x by itself
subtract b from ither side
2x+b=c
-b -b
2x=c-b
then divide both sides by 2, so x will be alone
x=c-b/2

2x+b=c (solve for x)
First move all terms containing "x" to one side of the equals and all other terms to the other side.
2x + b - b = c - b
2x = c - b
Now divide both sides of the equation by 2
2x/2 = (c-b)/2
x = (c-b)/2
