Solve the following equation for x.

ax-8=19

1 answer

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, we can move the constant term (-8) to the right side of the equation by adding 8 to both sides:
ax = 19 + 8
ax = 27

Now, to solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by a:
x = 27/a

Therefore, the solution to the equation ax - 8 = 19 is x = 27/a
