abx=cy Divide ab from both sides to isolate x
abx/ab=cy/ab ab cancels ab out
x=cy/ab
GOOD LUCK!!!

You wanna get x alone so to kill multiplying, you divide.
You divide both sides (of the equal sign) by the variables: ab.
Now, since x is alone, you just solve.
x=cy/ab (/ is divided by.)

abx=cy
/ab.../ab
x=cy/ab
its the same as if it were numbers..you just need to get x by itself. and to do that you divide by ab. Hope this helps =]

x= cy/ab
since you are solving for x, all you've got to do is divide both sides by a, and then divide both sides by b to get x by itself.
