Solve the following equation for x
.
ax−8=19
Responses
A x=27a
x is equal to 27 A
B x=a/27
x is equal to A over 27
C x=27a
x is equal to 27 over A
D x=11/a
To solve the equation ax - 8 = 19 for x, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we can start by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:
ax - 8 + 8 = 19 + 8
This simplifies to:
ax = 27
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by a:
ax/a = 27/a
This simplifies to:
x = 27/a
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 27/a, which is option B.
