Solution for a-x=a+sx equation:


Simplifying
a + -1x = a + sx

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

Combine like terms: a + -1a = 0
0 + -1x = a + -1a + sx
-1x = a + -1a + sx

Combine like terms: a + -1a = 0
-1x = 0 + sx
-1x = sx

-1sx + -1x = sx + -1sx

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

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1x'.
-1x(s + 1) = 0

Ignore the factor -1.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'x' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying x = 0 Solving x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying x = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(s + 1)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying s + 1 = 0 Reorder the terms: 1 + s = 0 Solving 1 + s = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + s = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + s = 0 + -1 s = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 s = -1 Add '-1s' to each side of the equation. s + -1s = -1 + -1s Combine like terms: s + -1s = 0 0 = -1 + -1s Simplifying 0 = -1 + -1s The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
