\ Solve the following equation for x . ax−8=19 A x=27a x is equal to 27 A B x=a/27 x is equal to A over 27 C x=27a x is equal to 27 over A D x=11a
To solve the equation ax - 8 = 19 for x, we need to isolate x.
First, we add 8 to both sides of the equation:
ax - 8 + 8 = 19 + 8
This simplifies to:
ax = 27
To solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by a:
(ax)/a = 27/a
This simplifies to:
x = 27/a
So, the solution to the equation is x = 27/a.
Therefore, option B is correct: x is equal to a/27.
