A) a = 3; b = 4; c = -34; x = -10
B) a = 3; b = -4; c = -34; x = -10
C) a = 3; b = 4; c = -34; x = 10
D) a = 3; b = -4; c = -34; x = 10

Question

The following equation is given in ax + b = c form. Solve by identifying the value of a, b, and c, then using the formula  . 3x - 4 = -34
A) a = 3; b = 4; c = -34; x = -10 
B) a = 3; b = -4; c = -34; x = -10 
C) a = 3; b = 4; c = -34; x = 10 
D) a = 3; b = -4; c = -34; x = 10

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given equation is 3x - 4 = -34, which can be rewritten as 3x = -34 + 4 or 3x = -30.
Identifying the values, we have a = 3, b = -4, and c = -34.
Using the formula x = (c - b) / a, we get x = (-34 - (-4)) / 3 or x = -30 / 3 or x = -10.
Therefore, the correct choice is B: a = 3; b = -4; c = -34; x = -10.
