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

Mathematics
1 answer:
umka21 [38]3 years ago
5 0

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}

Please help me with 13 and 15 asap
Law Incorporation [45]
Gosh, I've done this problem before. Let's start with 13. In this problem, we're basically just skip counting. For example, in the roses row, in the second bouquet, we know we have to add 4 more flowers, so we can document 8. Continue to skip count for both. For 15, we would have about 96 more movie posters remaining, making our ratio 96:x. So, 96:x = 120:100. Therefore, x would equal 80- as 96:80 equals 120:100. If she needs 80 and already had 100, she should sell 20 posters. Hope this helped.
