Solve for x rx+h=sx-k

1 Answer

5 votes

When solving the goal is to get x on one side and not x on the other.

rx + h = sx - k

rx - sx + h = -k <------- subtract sx from both sides

rx - sx = -k - h <-------subtract h from both sides

x (r - s) = -k -h <------factor out x which is in both rx and sx

x = - k - h / r - s <-------divide by r-s on both sides


The equation solved for x is
x = (-k - h)/(r - s )
