Question

Solve for a r=x(a+b) Solve for x x/2=-7

Answer 1

Answer:

1.) a = r / x - b

2.) x = - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) r = x ( a + b )

r / x = x / x ( a + b) ...( Divide each side by x )

r / x = a + b

r / x - b = a + b - b ... ( Subtracting each side by b) r / x - b = a

2.) x / 2 = -7

x / 2 × 2 = -7 × 2 .. ( multiplying each side by 2 )

x = - 14

Answer 2

Answer:

a = (r/x) -b

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

r=x(a+b)

Divide each side by x

r/x = a+b

Subtract b

r/x  -b = a

x/2=-7

Multiply each side by 2

x/2*2 = -7*2

x = -14
