Question

C(x-2)-5=b(x-3), solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:

x =  (2c - 3b + 5) / (c - b).

Step-by-step explanation:

c(x - 2) - 5 = b(x - 3)

cx - 2c - 5 = bx - 3b          Bring the terms in x to left side:-

cx - bx  - 2c - 5 = -3b        Bring  other terms to right side:-

cx - bx = 2c  - 3b  + 5

x(c - b) =  2c  - 3b  + 5         Divide both sides by c - b:-

x =  (2c - 3b + 5) / (c - b).
