Jamal states that ax + b = a(x + c), given a, b, and c are not equal to 0.What must be the value of c for Jamal’s statement to be true?
Accepted Solution
A:
To answer the question, we must find c of the equation: ax + b = a (x + c) If we divide by "a" on both sides we have to: x + b / a = x + c For values of "a" other than zero. So: c = b / a. So that the affirmation of Jamal Be true c = b / a
