Solve 2-ax=0

$$2 - a x = 0$$

Solve for a

$$a=\frac{2}{x}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-ax=-2$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\left(-x\right)a=-2$$

Divide both sides by -x.

$$\frac{\left(-x\right)a}{-x}=-\frac{2}{-x}$$

Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.

$$a=-\frac{2}{-x}$$

Divide -2 by -x.

$$a=\frac{2}{x}$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{2}{a}$$

$$a\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by -a.

$$\frac{\left(-a\right)x}{-a}=-\frac{2}{-a}$$

Dividing by -a undoes the multiplication by -a.

$$x=-\frac{2}{-a}$$

Divide -2 by -a.

$$x=\frac{2}{a}$$
