Question

-5x + 3x +9 = ax + 4 +b

Answer 1

a=−b−2x+5/x

Explanation:

Step 1: Flip the equation.

ax+b+4=−2x+9

Step 2: Add -b to both sides.

ax+b+4+−b=−2x+9+−b

ax+4=−b−2x+9

Step 3: Add -4 to both sides.

ax+4+−4=−b−2x+9+−4

ax=−b−2x+5

Step 4: Divide both sides by x.

ax/x=−b−2x+5/x

a=−b−2x+5/x
