1. State the problem. Problem: No problem statement was provided. 2. Formula and rules. Formula: For a linear equation $ax+b=0$ the solution is $x=-\frac{b}{a}$. Important rule: $a\neq 0$ or there is no unique solution. 3. Example with intermediate work. Solve: $2x+3=0$. Subtract 3: $2x=-3$. Divide both sides by 2: $$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-3}{2}$$ Show cancellation: $$\frac{\cancel{2}x}{\cancel{2}}=\frac{-3}{2}$$ Simplify: $x=-\frac{3}{2}$. 4. What I need from you. Please provide the full problem statement (for example an equation or question) and I will solve it step by step.
