Question 2

In the following question out of the four options only one is correct, write the correct answer:
(a) $x=\frac{a}{b}$
(b) $x=-b$
(c) $x=\frac{-b}{a}$
(d) $x=\frac{b}{a}$
The solution of the equation ax+b=0 is:

Answer 1

Given equation is ax+b=0
$\Rightarrow ax=-b\Rightarrow \frac{ax}{a}=\frac{-b}{a}\therefore x=\frac{-b}{a}$
Hence, the solution of the equation ax+b=0 is x=$-\frac{b}{a}$
