Make x the subject: a(x-b) = x

Mathematics
1 answer:
umka21 [38]3 years ago

Answer:

x = \frac{ab}{a-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a(x - b) = x ← distribute parenthesis on left side

ax - ab = x ( subtract x from both sides )

ax - x - ab = 0 ( add ab to both sides )

ax - x = ab ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(a - 1) = ab ← divide both sides by a - 1

x = \frac{ab}{a-1}

Can someone help with problems 22, 23 & 25
Sonja [21]

#22: 10.2 gallons for $2.59 each = 10.2 x 2.59, which rounded is $26.42.

#23: 12 pieces that are 6.45 in wide each = 12 x 6.45, which is 77.4 in.

#25: Aaron started with $38.

$22.47 + $8.53 + $6.50 is $37.50.

38.00 - 37.50 is .50 or 50 cents.


Hope that helps!

A line intersects the point (3,-4) and has a slope of 17. What is the slope-intercept equation for this line? y = 17x + [?]​
Ilya [14]
We can plug in the values of this point to find b
-4 = 17 (3) +b
We will multiply 17 times 3
-4 = 51 + b
We then subtract by 51 on both sides
-55 = b
So the full equation will be
y = 17x - 55
