Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]mx + 2x = 6[/tex]
Required
Make the variable in bracket the subject
From the given expression, none of the variables (m and x) are in brackets.
So, I will solve for m and then solve for x
Solving for m:
[tex]mx + 2x = 6[/tex]
Subtract 2x from both sides
[tex]mx = 6 - 2x[/tex]
Divide both sides by x
[tex]m = \frac{6 - 2x}{x}[/tex]
Solving for x:
[tex]mx + 2x = 6[/tex]
Factorize
[tex]x(m+2)= 6[/tex]
Divide both sides by m + 2
[tex]x = \frac{6}{m+2}[/tex]
