Question

a(5−x)=bx−8a what is x

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5-x = bx-8a

(b+1)x = 5+8a

x = (5+8a)/(b+1)

Answer 2

Answer:

$x = \frac{13a}{a\ +\ b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question

The given expression is

a(5 - x) = bx - 8a

or, 5a - ax = bx - 8a

or, 5a + 8a = ax + bx

or, 5a + 8a = (a + b)x

or, $\frac{13a}{a\ +\ b} = x$

∴ $x = \frac{13a}{a\ +\ b}$ (Answer)
