Ax-bx+y=z solve for x

x = (z - y)/(a - b)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

ax - bx + y = z

Step 2: Solve for x

The solution for x will be:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

subtract y from both sides

simplify

Factor ax-bx = x(a-b)

Divide both sides by a-b;  a≠b

simplify

Therefore, the solution for x will be:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

english maybe i can ..
