Question

Solve the equation for x.
4x + ax = 2(bx + 3)

Answer 1

x =
`(6)/(4+a-2b)`

Explanation:

Given

4x + ax = 2(bx + 3) ← distribute parenthesis

4x + ax = 2bx + 6 ( subtract 2bx from both sides )

4x + ax - 2bx = 6 ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(4 + a - 2b) = 6 ← divide both sides by (4 + a - 2b)

x =
`(6)/(4+a-2b)`
