Solve the following equation for x
.
ax−8=19
Responses
A x=27a
x is equal to 27 A
B x=a27
x is equal to A over 27
C x=27a
x is equal to 27 over A
D x=11a
x is equal to 11 over A
To solve the equation "ax - 8 = 19" for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, we can add 8 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -8 on the left side:
ax - 8 + 8 = 19 + 8
ax = 27
Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by a to solve for x:
(ax)/a = 27/a
x = 27/a
So the solution to the equation is x = 27/a.
Thus, the correct answer is B) x = a/27.
