What is the result of solving this equation for x? ax+by=c

A.


B.

C.

D.

1 answer

To solve the equation \( ax + by = c \) for \( x \), you would isolate \( x \) on one side of the equation. Here are the steps:

  1. Start with the equation: \[ ax + by = c \]

  2. Subtract \( by \) from both sides: \[ ax = c - by \]

  3. Divide both sides by \( a \) (assuming \( a \neq 0 \)): \[ x = \frac{c - by}{a} \]

So the solution for \( x \) in the equation \( ax + by = c \) is: \[ x = \frac{c - by}{a} \]

If you have specific answer choices (A, B, C, D), please provide them, and I can indicate which one is correct!
