Question

Transform the equation to isolate x: ax = bx + 1. How is

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{1}{a-b}$

The value of x is inversely proportional to the difference of a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is $ax-bx+1$

We factor the left hand side to get:

$(a-b)x=1$

We divide both sides by: a-b

$x=\frac{1}{a-b}$

Observe that the difference of a and b is in the denominator.

The whole is of the form: $x\propto \frac{1}{a-b}$

The value of x is inversely proportional to the difference of a and b.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sample Response: The equation ax = bx + 1 is the same as x = 1/(a  - b) when solved for x. This means that x is equal to the reciprocal of the difference of a and b.
