Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
A. 8 * x = 80
8 * 5 = 40. 40 is not 80, so it doesn't work.
B. x + 4 = 9
5 + 4 = 9. This works.
C. 10 ÷ x = 5
10 ÷ 5 = 2. 5 is not 2, so it doesn't work.
D. x - 6 = 1
5 - 6 = -1. 1 is not -1, so it doesn't work.
Here is something that can help you
= 2a - 1
2(
) = 2(2a - 1) <em>multiplied both sides by 2 </em>
ab = 4a - 2 <em>distributed the 2 on the right side</em>
ab - 4a = -2 <em>subtracted 4a from both sides</em>
a(b - 4) = -2 factored out "a" from the left side
a =
<em>divided (b - 4) on both sides</em>
Answer: a =
I don't think anyone can solve this without seeing the table mentioned in the question :)
