Answer:
x is the reciprocal of the difference of a and b.
Step-by-step explanation:
ax=bx+1
Subtract by bx on both sides
ax-bx=1
x(a-b)=1
x= 1/(a-b)
Answer:
170 heart beat per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
While exercising, a person’s recommended target heart rate is a function of age. The recommended number of beats per minute, y, is given by the function y = f(x) = − 0.85x + 187 where x represents a person’s age in years.
So, if my age is 21 years i.e. x = 21, then the number of recommended heart beats per minute for my age will be
y = f(21) = - 0.85(21) + 187 = - 17.85 + 187 = 169.15 ≈ 170. (Answer)

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.
The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), <em>you must do it to both sides of the equation</em>.
We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:
10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2
x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify
Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:
x -5 +5 = 2 +5
x = 7 . . . . simplify
The solution is x = 7.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.
