if x over 4 minus a over b is equal to 0
b is not equal to 0, then x equals what?
thanks
I suspect it is zero.
no it is not zero, but thanks

To find the value of x in the equation x/4 - a/b = 0, we can solve for x by isolating it on one side of the equation.
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction:
4 * (x/4) - 4 * (a/b) = 0 * 4
x - (4 * a/b) = 0
Step 2: Simplify the expression:
x - 4a/b = 0
Step 3: Add 4a/b to both sides of the equation to get x by itself:
x - 4a/b + 4a/b = 0 + 4a/b
x = 4a/b
Therefore, x is equal to 4a/b. It is important to note that b must not be equal to 0 for this equation to hold.
