What the two or more numbers or amounts? Something needs to be compared
First bring all terms in 'a' to the left side of the formula by subtracting ac from both sides
ab - ac - cd = ac - ac
ab - ac - cd = 0
now add cd to both sides
ab - ac -cd + cd = cd
ab - ac = cd
now factor the left side by taking out the 'a'
a(b-c) = cd
now divide both sides by (b-c)
a = cd / (b-c)
done
I've attached the graphs to this answer. I hope they help.
