Question

Solve for x:

acx - e = 3e + cx

A) x = 3e/(ac - c)

B) x = 4e/(ac - c)

C) x = e/(ac - c)

D) x = 2e/(ac - c)

Answer 1

To find the value of x in the equation acx - e = 3e + cxA, we combine like terms and factor out x, which gives us x = 4e/(ac - cA), corresponding to answer choice B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x in the equation acx - e = 3e + cxA, we first combine like terms by getting all the terms with x on one side and the constants on the other.

acx - cxA = 3e + e

Now, we factor out x on the left side:

x(ac - cA) = 4e

To get x by itself, we divide both sides by (ac - cA):

x = 4e/(ac - cA)

This corresponds to answer choice B.
