1. The problem asks to solve the equation for the "left" case, which implies we need to clarify the original equation or context. Since the user said "solve same question for left," we assume it refers to solving an equation or expression from the left side. 2. Without the original equation, let's consider a generic example: solve for $x$ in the equation $ax + b = 0$ from the left side. 3. The formula to solve a linear equation $ax + b = 0$ is: $$x = -\frac{b}{a}$$ 4. Important rules: - Division by zero is undefined, so $a \neq 0$. - Simplify the equation step-by-step. 5. Intermediate work: - Start with $ax + b = 0$ - Subtract $b$ from both sides: $ax = -b$ - Divide both sides by $a$: $x = -\frac{b}{a}$ 6. Explanation: We isolate $x$ by undoing the operations applied to it. First, subtract $b$ to remove the constant term, then divide by $a$ to solve for $x$. Since the user did not provide the original equation, this is a general approach to solving from the left side. Final answer: $$x = -\frac{b}{a}$$
