Answer 1

To solve the equation "ax - 8 = 19" for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we can add 8 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -8 on the left side:

ax - 8 + 8 = 19 + 8
ax = 27

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by a to solve for x:

(ax)/a = 27/a
x = 27/a

So the solution to the equation is x = 27/a.

Thus, the correct answer is B) x = a/27.
