Question

Solve the equation so that x is isolated on one side of the equals sign. ax+b+4d=cx−d Make sure to include x=?

a) ax + b + 4d = cx - d
b) ax = cx - b - 5d
c) x(a - c) = b + 4d + d
d) x = (b + 5d - d)/(a - c)

Answer 1

To isolate x on one side of the equation ax+b+4d=cx-d, subtract cx from both sides and add b and 5d to both sides. Finally, divide both sides by (a - c) to solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate x on one side of the equation ax+b+4d=cx-d, we need to gather all the x terms on one side and all non-x terms on the other side. We can start by subtracting cx from both sides and adding b and 5d to both sides:

(a - c)x = -b - 5d - d

Then, we can divide both sides by (a - c) to solve for x:

x = (-b - 5d - d) / (a - c)
