What is the solution for x of ax-5=b?

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.

kow [346]
I'm assuming you're trying to find out how much you'll spend annually on gas: first you would divide the total miles driven in a year (13,000) by your car's mpg (26) giving you a quotient of 500 (the amount of times you'll have to fill up your tank) from here you will need to multiply 500 times the cost of gas ($3.60) giving you a product of $1,800 spent on gas annually.
