Question 153699: hw do you seperate the a and x??

2-----------------2
A x +3 = 2 A

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can separate the A and the x like this:
Ax%2B3+=+2A Subtract 2A from both sides.
Ax-2A%2B3+=+0 Subtract 3 from both sides.
Ax-2A+=+-3 Now factor the A on the left side.
A%28x-2%29+=+-3 Finally, divide both sides by (x-2)
A+=+-3%2F%28x-2%29
Now if you really wanted to solve for x, then:::
Ax%2B3+=+2A Subtract 3 from both sides.
Ax+=+2A-3 Divide both sides by A
x+=+%282A-3%29%2FA
