<span>solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x:
1) Group the x terms together on the left: ax - bx - c = d
2) Group the constant terms together: ax - bx = c + d
3) factor out x: x(a - b) = c + d
4) Divide both sides of the equation by (a - b) to obtain a formula for x:
c+d
</span> x(a - b) = c + d => x = ---------
a-b
This shows that the given equation CAN be solved for x, but there is a restriction: a must NOT equal b, because if a-b = 0, we'd have division by zero (which is not defined).
Where is Victoria's solution? Please share it if you want to discuss this problem further. Thank you.
