You can
put this solution on YOUR website!Assume the problem is:
1)
=
:
multiply equation by b:
a(2x - 12) =
:
divide both sides by a:
2x - 12 =
:
Add 12 to both sides:
2x =
+ 12
:
Divide both sides by 2
x =
+
:
x =
+ 6
:
:
Assume the problem is
2)
= m
:
Cross multiply and you have:
m(x-a) = a - c
:
Divide both sides by m:
x - a =
:
Add a to both sides:
x = a +
:
They may want it further simplified:
x =
=
