Question

Solve the following equation for x. 10 = 2 - 4 (ax - 3) a. -5/a b. 5/a c. 1/a d. -1/a

Answer 1

Answer: c.
`(1)/(a)`.

Explanation:

10 = 2 - 4(ax - 3)

10 = 2 - 4ax + 12

10 = 14 - 4ax

Minus 14 on both sides.

-4 = -4ax

Divided -4 on both sides.

1 = ax

Divided a by both sides to solve x.

`(1)/(a)` = x

Therefore, the answer is c.
