Answer:
Value of a in term of x = 8/x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
14 = ax + 6
Find:
Value of a in term of x
Computation:
⇒ 14 = ax + 6
Step 1; Subtract 6 from both side
⇒ 14 - 6 = ax + 6 - 6
We get step 2
⇒ 8 = ax
Divide x from both side and we get step 3
⇒ 8 / x = ax / x
Step 4
⇒ 8/x = a
Step 5
⇒ a = 8/x
Value of a in term of x = 8/x
