Question

What is the value of x in the equation ax + b = 0?

  1. X equals b over a
  2. X equals a over b
  3. X equals fraction numerator negative b over denominator a end fraction
  4. X = ba

The correct answer is: X equals fraction numerator negative b over denominator a end fraction


    ax + b = 0
    a x space equals space 0 space minus space b
a x space equals space minus b
x space equals space fraction numerator negative b over denominator a end fraction
    Thus, the value of x in the equation ax + b = 0 is -b/a
