Question
Solve the following equations$: a(x - b) -x (x - 2b) = x + 5(x - b)$
✓
Answer
$a(x - b) -x (x - 2b) = x + 5(x - b)$
On simplyfying, we get:
$\Rightarrow ax - ab - x + 2b = x + 5x - 5b$
$\Rightarrow -ab + 2b + 5b = 6x + x - ax$
$\Rightarrow (7 - a)b = (7 - a)x$
$\Rightarrow x = b.$
On simplyfying, we get:
$\Rightarrow ax - ab - x + 2b = x + 5x - 5b$
$\Rightarrow -ab + 2b + 5b = 6x + x - ax$
$\Rightarrow (7 - a)b = (7 - a)x$
$\Rightarrow x = b.$
