The first thing to do is to use the distributive rule to remove the parentheses.
a(b-c)=ab-ac
We now have this equation:
ab-ac=3d
Subtracting ab NOT ad from both sides, leaves us with the following:
-ac=3d-ab
Next we divide both sides of theequation by -a. By doing so, we isolate c on the left side of the equation.
c = 3 d a b a
c = 3 d a a b a
c = 3 d a + b
