Please help. I have something from my algebra 1 class:

Question

For the equation ax+c+bx+d, where a is not equal to b and c is not equal to d. What is x?

I know you're supposed to solve for x but I don't know how?

Answer 1

I suspect a typo. Surely you meant
ax+c = bx+d
So, collect all the x stuff on the left, to get
ax-bx = d-c
x(a-b) = d-c

x = (d-c)/(a-b)

Answer 2

Thank You!
