<span>solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x:
1) Group the x terms together on the left: ax - bx - c = d
2) Group the constant terms together: ax - bx = c + d
3) factor out x: x(a - b) = c + d
4) Divide both sides of the equation by (a - b) to obtain a formula for x:
c+d
</span> x(a - b) = c + d => x = ---------
a-b
This shows that the given equation CAN be solved for x, but there is a restriction: a must NOT equal b, because if a-b = 0, we'd have division by zero (which is not defined).
Where is Victoria's solution? Please share it if you want to discuss this problem further. Thank you.
Well, first you'd have to get the x by it's self.
10x+1=3x+9
Subtract 3x from each side and you'll have the x on only one side rather than two.
7x+1=9
Now I'd get rid of the 1 on the x's side. So just subtract 1 from each side.
7x=8
Then you should make it so the seven isn't there with the x either. Just divide each side by 7.
Answer: x=8/7
Each time you change something on one side, you must do the same to the other side. T find the value of a variable in an equation, simple seclude it so it's on it's own without number to make things confusing.
The answer was x=8/7 btw.
I’m pretty sure it’s (x-7)(x+6)
to factor you need it to multiply to -42 and add to -1 which gives you -7 and 6
