a(x+b)=

Solution for a(x+b)= equation:

Simplifying
a(x + b) = 0

Reorder the terms:
a(b + x) = 0
(b * a + x * a) = 0
(ab + ax) = 0

Solving
ab + ax = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'a'.
a(b + x) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'a' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
a = 0

Solving
a = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying
a = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(b + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
b + x = 0

Solving
b + x = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1b' to each side of the equation.
b + -1b + x = 0 + -1b

Combine like terms: b + -1b = 0
0 + x = 0 + -1b
x = 0 + -1b
Remove the zero:
x = -1b

Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.
x + -1x = -1b + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
0 = -1b + -1x

Simplifying
0 = -1b + -1x
