im trying to solve a literal equation, then solve the specific question
first part is stumping me, im to solve for X
ax=bx-c
this is what I got
ax-bx=c, but don't know how to get x by itself
just factor out the x:
x(a-b) = c
x = c/(a-b)
To solve the equation ax = bx - c and isolate x on one side, you can begin by factoring out the x on the right-hand side of the equation:
ax - bx = c
Now, factor out x from both terms on the left-hand side:
x(a - b) = c
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by (a - b):
x = c / (a - b)
That's your final answer for x in terms of a, b, and c.
Now, to solve a specific question using this equation, you need to substitute the given values of a, b, and c into the equation and calculate the value of x.
