Question

Make x the subject of these equations.

a(x + b) = c
X =

Answer 1

Just expand and solve for x :)

Answer 2

x =
`(c-ab)/(a)`

Explanation:

a(x + b) = c ← distribute parenthesis on left side

ax + ab = c ( subtract ab from both sides )

ax = c - ab ( divide both sides by a )

x =
`(c-ab)/(a)`
