Answer 2

Answer:

x = $\frac{5b-2d}{a-2c}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

ax + 2d = 2cx + 5b (subtract 2d from both sides )

ax = 2cx + 5b - 2d ( subtract 2cx from both sides )

ax - 2cx = 5b - 2d ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(a - 2c) = 5b - 2d ← divide both sides by (a - 2c)

x = $\frac{5b-2d}{a-2c}$
