ax = 2x+5 ( solve the linear equation or inequality for x)

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

We must solve this equation for x!

Then,

ax = 2x + 5..................First, subtract 2x to the left side of the equal sign such that

ax - 2x = 5..................Then factor out an x to obtain

x(a-2) = 5 ..................Then divide the (a-2) to both sides such that

x = (5 / (a-2) )

I hope this helped!
