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

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.

I found the choices that should have been included in this problem.
a) (1.5,26)
b) (2.25,30)
c) (5.5,88)
d) (7.25,110)

y = 16x
choice a. y = 16(1.5) = 24
choice b. y = 16(2.25) = 36
choice c. y = 16(5.5) = 88
choice d. y = 16(7.25) = 116

The correct answer is choice c. (5.5, 88)

What is it then please
nalin [4]

a) because the denominators are the same add the numerators:

1 1/5 + 3 2/5 = 4 3/5

b) rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator:

1/2 = 3/6

1/3 = 2/6

Now subtract:

4 3/6 - 1 2/6 = 3 1/6
