Solve the equation for x if ax + bx = c

x = c/(a + b)

x = (a + b)/c

x = c - a - b

x = c/(ab)

which awnser is it please tell me

nirmalnema · Answer

x = c/(a + b)

anonymous · Answer

Well let's isolate the x.

ok

anonymous · Answer

Ok so we have: ax + bx = c

And we want to solve for x

So what we must do is isolate x to one side of the equation.

We do this by first factoring out x from ax + bx like so:  x(a+b) = c

anonymous · Answer

sorry but its x=c/(a+b)

anonymous · Answer

Now we must divide both sides by (a+b) to get x by itself.
