Question

Solve the equation for x. cx+b=3(x-c) XFIİ (Simplify yo nswer.)

Answer 1

The value of x is
`((3c+b))/(3-c)`.

Explanation:

The given equation is

`cx+b=3(x-c)`

Using distributive property we get

`cx+b=3(x)+3(-c)`

`cx+b=3x-3c`

To solve the above equation isolate variable terms.

Subtract 3x and b from both sides.

`cx-3x=-3c-b`

Taking out common factors.

`x(c-3)=-(3c+b)`

Divide both sides by (c-3).

`x=-((3c+b))/(c-3)`

`x=((3c+b))/(3-c)`

Therefore the value of x is
`((3c+b))/(3-c)`.
