Solve For a & b

[mathdad]

Solve the equation for the letters a and b.

1 - ax = b, a does not equal 0.

Solve for a:

1 - ax = b

-ax = b - 1

-a = (b - 1)/(x)

a = [(b - 1)/x] ÷ -1

a = -[(b - 1)/x]

As you can see, b has been given to us.

1 - ax = b.

Yes?

Correct. It could also be written as (1-b)/x
