Solve this literal equation:

\[ 2x = 4a + 2b \]

Asked by huasandy0301

Answer (2)

First, to make everything easier,divide each side by 2 :
x = 2a + 2b
There's the solution for ' x '.
Now, if you want it solved for ' a ' , then subtract ' 2b ' from each side :
x - 2b = 2a***
and divide each side by 2 : a = 1/2 (x - 2b)

and if you want it solved for ' b ' then subtract ' 2a ' from each side :
x - 2a = 2b
and divide each side by 2 : *** b = 1/2 (x - 2a)*** .

To solve the equation 2 x = 4 a + 2 b , first simplify it to x = 2 a + b . You can then rearrange it to solve for 'a' or 'b' as needed. This process involves basic algebraic manipulations such as dividing and subtracting.
