The rest of the terms are just summing the moments resulting from external point loads \[ P \cdot (x-a) \] and the internal weight distribution \[ \frac{W}{2}\cdot (L-x)^2 \]

Problem is, the authors DO provide a value for c and then provide an equivalency for a total MOMENT at point x as a SUM of applied point, distributed AND moment LOADS.
Still, there are differing possible interpretations.

BEST!
