Question

I really need help please!! ax - b = c Solve for X Show work please!!

Answer 1

Answer by JKismyhusbandbae:

$\mathrm{Add\:}b\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\ax-b+b=c+b\\Simplify\\ax=c+b\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}a;\quad \:a\ne \:0\\\frac{ax}{a}=\frac{c}{a}+\frac{b}{a};\quad \:a\ne \:0\\Simplify\\x=\frac{c+b}{a};\quad \:a\ne \:0$

Answer 2

ax - b = c

add b to both sides

ax - b + b = c + b

simplifying

ax =  c + b

divide both sides by a

ax / a =  (c + b) / a

simplifying

x =  (c + b) / a
