Question

Ax=15+bx solve for x, in terms of a and b

Answer 1

Ax - bx = 15 ( Move all terms with x to one side)

(A-b)x = 15 ( take x as common)

x = 15/(A-b) (Divide over x)

Answer 2

`x = (15)/(a-b)`

Explanation:

Given the equation:

`ax = 15+bx` ...[1]

Solve for x in terms of a and b.

Subtract bx from both sides in [1] we have;

`ax-bx= 15+bx-bx`

Simplify:

`ax-bx= 15`

or

`x(a-b) = 15`

Divide both sides by (a-b) we have;

`x = (15)/(a-b)`

therefore, the value of x is,
`x = (15)/(a-b)`
