Question

What is the value of x in x(a+b)=b(c-x)​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $\frac{bc}{a+2b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x(a + b) = b(c - x) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

ax + bx = bc - bx ( add bx to both sides )

ax + 2bx = bc ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(a + 2b) = bc ← divide both sides by (a + 2b)

x = $\frac{bc}{a+2b}$
