Question

A(x + b) = cx + d. Which method do you find easier?

Answer 1

`ax+b=cx+d`

Let me do some algebra, it will be self explanatory.

`ax-cx=d-b`

I have basically moved cx to the left, and b to the right, now let me do more algebra

`x(a-c)=d-b`
`x\text{ =}((d-b))/((a-c))`

Now the Second method is the graphing the equation and finding the values of x, that follow the graph.

`y=mx+b`
`y(x)=x(a-c)-d+b`
