Question

Solve for x 8(a+x)=b-a+6x

Answer 1

8(a + x) = b - a + 6x -- divide both sides by 8
a + x = 1/8b - 1/8a + 3/4x -- subtract a from both sides
x = 1/8b - 1/8a - a + 3/4x -- subtract 3/4x
4/4x - 3/4x = 1/8b - 1/8a - 8/8a
1/4x = 1/8b - 9/8a -- divide by 1/4
x = (1/8b - 9/8a) / (1/4)
x = (1/8b - 9/8a) * 4
x = 1/2b - 36/8a
x = (1/2)b - (9/2)a
