Question

If abx - 5 = 0, what is x in terms of a and b?

Answer 1

`abx - 5 = 0`


`abx - 5 +5= 0+5`


`abx=5`


`(abx)/(ab) = (5)/(ab)`


`x= (5)/(ab)`

Answer 2

Here we want to have x on one side of equation so,
we put number 5 on right side of equation:
abx=5
then we divide both sides by ab to obtain x on left side:
Result:
x=
`(5)/(ab)`
