How Do You Solve for X in These Algebraic Equations?

AI Thread Summary
To solve for x in the equation x/(2x+b) = t, isolate x by multiplying both sides by (2x+b) and then rearranging the terms. For the second problem, to write 3 - 2/(1-x) as a single fraction, find a common denominator, which is (1-x), and combine the terms accordingly. Clarification is needed on the interpretation of the first equation, as different formats yield different results. Providing initial attempts at solving these equations is essential for receiving effective guidance. Understanding the correct structure of the equations is crucial for accurate solutions.

can someone help me with this and show me how they get there answer thanks

make x the subject of the following: x/2x+b = t

and please with this one ( please show me how to gte to the anser):

write the following as a single fraction 3- 2/1-x

thanks in advance.

You need to show your attempts at these before advice can be given. What have you done with them?
 
x/2x+ b? Do you mean x/(2x)+ b which is equal to (1/2)+ b or (x/2)x+ b which is equal to x2/2+ b, or even x/(2x+b)?

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
