If abx - 5 = 0, what is x in terms of a and b?
Here we want to have x on one side of equation so,
we put number 5 on right side of equation:
abx=5
then we divide both sides by ab to obtain x on left side:
Result:
x=\(\frac{5}{ab}\)
\(abx - 5 = 0\)
\(abx - 5 +5= 0+5\)
\(abx=5\)
\(\frac{abx}{ab} = \frac{5}{ab}\)
\(x= \frac{5}{ab}\)
