Solve the literal equation

Solve for x:

c - 1
-------- + d = cd
x

c - 1
------- = cd - d {subtracted d from both sides}
x

c - 1 = x(cd - d) {multiplied both sides by x}

c - 1
---------- = x {divided both sides by cd - d}
cd - d

c -1
---------- = x {factored d out of bottom}
d(c - 1)

1
--- = x {cancelled c - 1 on top and bottom}
d
