Answer:

The value of x is reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation, ax=bx+1

On simplifying, we get,

ax=bx+1

i.e. ax-bx=1

i.e. (a-b)x=1

i.e. x=\frac{1}{a-b}

So, we get,

The value of x is \frac{1}{a-b}.

That is, the value of x is reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

The equation ax = bx + 1 is the same as x = 1/(a  - b) when solved for x. This means that x is equal to the reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

Triangle GHI is similar to triangle JKL. If JP = 26, MH = 36 and PK = 16 then GM =
mars1129 [50]
Since the two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the corresponding sides is equal. Therefore;
JP/GM=PK/MH
26/GM = 16/36
   GM=  (26×36)/16
         =  58.5
