Given the equation:
ax -b = 12.5
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we simply needed to transpose first -b to the other side of the equation, and then we divide both sides of the equation with canceling out ax. leaving behind x.
ax - b = 12.5
ax = 12.5 + b
ax/a = (12.5 + b)/a
x = (12.5 + b)/a
Final answer:
x = (12.5 + b)/a
