a*(5-x)=bx-8

Solution

a \cdot (5 - x) = b x - 8

Solution

x = - \frac{- 8 - 5 a}{a + b}; a \neq = - b

Solution steps

a (5 - x) = b x - 8

Expand

a (5 - x) : 5 a - a x

5 a - a x = b x - 8

Move

5 a

to the right side

- a x = b x - 8 - 5 a

Move

b x

to the left side

- a x - b x = - 8 - 5 a

Factor

- a x - b x : - x (a + b)

- x (a + b) = - 8 - 5 a

Divide both sides by

- (a + b); a \neq = - b

x = - \frac{- 8 - 5 a}{a + b}; a \neq = - b
