Solve the following equation for x. ax + 6 = 48 A x = 54/a B x = 42a C x = 42/a D x = a/42

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( ax + 6 = 48 \) for \( x \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 6 from both sides: \[ ax = 48 - 6 \] \[ ax = 42 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by \( a \) (assuming \( a \neq 0 \)): \[ x = \frac{42}{a} \]

Thus, the solution for \( x \) is: \[ x = \frac{42}{a} \]

The correct answer is C: \( x = \frac{42}{a} \).
