Question

If abx - 5 = 0, what is x in terms of a and b?

Answer 1

Here we want to have x on one side of equation so,
we put number 5 on right side of equation:
abx=5
then we divide both sides by ab to obtain x on left side:
Result:
x=<u />$\frac{5}{ab}$

Answer 2

$abx - 5 = 0$

$abx - 5 +5= 0+5$

$abx=5$

$\frac{abx}{ab} = \frac{5}{ab}$

$x= \frac{5}{ab}$
