Lets try and multiply a with the bracket (c+b)=

a(c+b)=ac+ab

Now we have:

ac+ab=d

Lets put the c variables on one side and the other variables on the other side. Every variable or number that will change sides, will have their sign changed from a + into a - and vice versa.

ac=d-ab

Divide both sides with a.

ac/a = (d-ab)/a

c=(d-ab)/a
