Answer 1

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

First, add 8 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -8:

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

Now, divide both sides of the equation by a to solve for x:

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

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 27/a, which corresponds to option B.
