Solution for x=ax equation:

Simplifying
x = ax

Solving
x = ax

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1ax' to each side of the equation.
-1ax + x = ax + -1ax

Combine like terms: ax + -1ax = 0
-1ax + x = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'x'.
x(-1a + 1) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'x' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
x = 0

Solving
x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying

Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(-1a + 1)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1a + 1 = 0

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1a = 0

Solving
1 + -1a = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1a = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1a = 0 + -1
-1a = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1a = -1

Add 'a' to each side of the equation.
-1a + a = -1 + a

Combine like terms: -1a + a = 0
0 = -1 + a

Simplifying
0 = -1 + a
