Question

Can someone please help me with number 6?

Answer 1

Explanation:

substitute a with 2 and b with 3

2x+3

because it's the same equation it should just be an equal sign.

Answer 2

Simplifying

ax + b = 2x + 3

Reorder the terms:

ax + b = 3 + 2x

Solving

ax + b = 3 + 2x

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1b' to each side of the equation.

ax + b + -1b = 3 + -1b + 2x

Combine like terms: b + -1b = 0

ax + 0 = 3 + -1b + 2x

ax = 3 + -1b + 2x

Divide each side by 'x'.

a = 3x-1 + -1bx-1 + 2

Simplifying

a = 3x-1 + -1bx-1 + 2

Reorder the terms:

a = 2 + -1bx-1 + 3x-1
