Make x the subject of the formula a(x-b)=a^2+bx

x =

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out formula

a(x - b) = a² + bx

Step 2: Distribute

ax - ab = a² + bx

Step 3: Add ab to both sides

ax = a² + bx + ab

Step 4: Subtract bx on both sides

ax - bx = a² + ab

Step 5: Factor

x(a - b) = a² + ab

Step 6: Divide (a - b) on both sides

x =

Step 7: Factor

x =

And we have our final answer!

a

step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be the same as one of the factors.

8 denominator times 2 denominator = 16

and 7 numerator time 11 = 77

77/16= 77/16 ( they cannot be further simplified)
