The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
multiply times reciprocal to get rid of denominator on left
(x1) (a1b1/x1)= (a2b2/x2)(x1)
a1b1 = (a2b2x1/x2)
multiply times reciprocal to get rid of denominator on right
(x2) a1b1/x1= a2b2x1/x2 (x2)
a1b1x2 = a2b2x1
divide by a1b1 to get x2 alone
a1b1x2/a1b1 = a2a2x1/(a1b1)
x2 = a2b2x1/(a1b1) I know I have missed something, but this is my best attempt at solving this problem. Could someone please review and help me figure out what I missed?
