Question

2(x+a=b rearrange for x

Answer 1

To rearrange the equation 2(x+a) = b for x, you need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

2x + 2a = b

Next, subtract 2a from both sides of the equation to move it to the other side:

2x = b - 2a

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

x = (b - 2a)/2

So x is equal to (b - 2a) divided by 2.
