Solve for x . state any restrictions on the variables ax-5 = bx - 13

ax-5 = bx - 13

add 5 to each side

ax = bx-13+5

ax = bx-8

subtract bx from each side

ax-bx = -8

factor out x

x(a-b) = -8

divide by a-b

x = -8/(a-b)

a-b cannot =0

a cannot =b

x = -8/(a-b)  a cannot equal b

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

f . i can go whenever i feel like it bc it is confidential meaning only i would know how much i deposited besides the bank and they wouldnt care bc when you make a deposit you are using their services which means they are using there competition and gaining more customers

and if they dont well then thats less customers for them in a less profitable way
