First of all, if there is anything added to x, minus it on both sides. Similarly, if something is subtracted from x, add it to both sides.
For example, in 1), ax - c = b, so add c to both sides, and you have ax = b + c.
Now, if there is a letter in front of x, divide both sides by that number. Similarly, if x is divided by a number, multiply both sides by that.
So, continuing with the example, if ax = b + c, divide both sides by a, and now we have x = (b + c) /a.
