First, add c to each side of the equation to isolate the x term while keeping the equation balanced:
axc+c=b+c
ax0=b+c
ax=b+c
Now, divide each side of the equation by a to solve for x while keeping the equation balanced:
axa=b+ca
axa=b+ca
x=b+ca
Or
x=ba+ca

Add c in both sides, we get ax - c + c = b + c
ax=b+c
axa=b+ca
x=b+ca
