<span>solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x:

1) Group the x terms together on the left:     ax - bx - c = d

2) Group the constant terms together:          ax - bx = c + d

3) factor out x:                                             x(a - b) = c + d

4) Divide both sides of the equation by (a - b) to obtain a formula for x:
                                                       c+d
</span>           x(a - b) = c + d   =>    x = ---------
                                                       a-b

This shows that the given equation CAN be solved for x, but there is a restriction:  a must NOT equal b, because if a-b = 0, we'd have division by zero (which is not defined).

Where is Victoria's solution?  Please share it if you want to discuss this problem further.  Thank you.

Please solve the math question: |4x−4(x+1)|=4
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

x has infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

|4x−4(x+1)|=4

Simplify inside the absolute value by distributing the 4

|4x−4x+4|=4

Combine like terms

|4|=4

The absolute value of 4 is 4

4=4

This is always true, so x is all real values

x has infinite solutions
