Question

X/a + b = c solve for x

Answer 1

The answer should be x=ac-bc.

Explanation:

You should start with multiplying the both sides a+b. The left hand side of the equation will cancel out and we'll be left with, x. At the right hand side, we have c.(a+b), which is equal to ac+bc and this value is equal to x.

I thought that the question was
`(x)/(a+b)=c`.

The correct solution is, may be because of the question's second look of mine is, x=a(c-b). You subtract b from the both sides, then you'll multiply both sides with a, and the answer will be x=ac-ab.

Answer 2

x = a(c-b)

Explanation:

x/a + b = c

-b -b

x/a = c - b

times a times a

x = a(c-b)
