Mathematics

Answer:

x = (b + 5/a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and equals:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, add 5 to both sides of the equation:

ax - 5 (+5) = b (+5)

ax = b + 5

Next, divide a from both sides to isolate the variable, x:

(ax)/a = (b + 5)/a

x = (b + 5)/a

x = (b + 5/a) is your answer.

A computer monitor is listed as being 17 inches. This is the diagonal across the screen. If the screen measures 10 inches in hei
Aneli [31]

diagonal = sqrt(l^ + w^2)

17 = sqrt(10^2 + x^2)

17^2 = 10^2 + x^2

289 = 100 + x^2

189 = x^2

x = sqrt(189) = 13.747

X = 13.75

 width is 13.75 inches
