Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

[tex]\displaystyle x + ax = b[/tex]

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Factor:                                                                                                           [tex]\displaystyle x(1 + a) = b[/tex]
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 1 + a on both sides:                        [tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{b}{1 + a}[/tex]
