Question

Two equivalent expressions are shown in the equation

where a and b are both integers.
a(7x + 3) = b + 14x

Answer 1

3a-b=14x-7ax

Explanation:

Two equivalent expressions are shown in the equation :

a(7x + 3) = b + 14x

Let it assumed to form an equation in terms of a and b.

Opening brackets of both sides,

7ax+3a=b+14x

Taking constant terms to LHS and variables to RHS

3a-b=14x-7ax

Hence, the equation is "3a-b=14x-7ax".
