Question

The letters a,b and c, represent nonzero constants. Solve ax+b=c for x

Answer 1

`x = (c-b)/(a)`

Explanation:

To solve for x, x needs to be on one side while all the other variables are on the other

To do this first subtract b from each side making the equation,

ax = c - b

Now divide by a on both sides. This means that to solve for x the equation must be ...

`x = (c-b)/(a)`
