Question

If a(2x-3)=bx+5 then the solution for x in terms of a and b is

Answer 1

Answer:

x=(3a+5)/(2a-b)

Step-by-step explanation:

first we distribute the a to the 2x and -3

2ax -3a=bx+5

we move the -3a over by adding 3a

2ax=bx+5+3a

then we move the bx over

2ax-bx=5+3a

we can now group the left side like this

x(2a-b)=5+3a)

to find x all we must do is divide both sides by (2a-b)

x=(3a+5)/(2a-b)
