<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.
85 gallons per day is the unit rate. divide 2550 by 30
The model shows 5x-9=-3x+20
Solve for x:
5x-9=-3x+20
5x=-3x+29
8x=29
x=29/8
