Step 1
Consider the given linear equation,
ax+5=6x+3
Add -3 both side of the equation and simplify,
ax+53=6x+33
ax+2=6x
Step 2
Now, add ax both side of the equation and solve for x,
ax+ax+2=6xax
6xax=2
(6a)x=2
x=26a
where a6 because a=6 the value of x is not defined.

Simplifying
ax+5=6x+3
Reorder the terms:
5+ax=6x+3
Reorder the terms:
5+ax=3+6x
Solving
5+ax=3+6x
Solving for variable "a".
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add "-5" to each side of the equation,
5±5+ax=3±5+6x
Combine like terms: 5±5=0
0+ax=3±5+6x
ax=3±5+6x
Combine like terms: 3±5=2
ax=2+6x
Divide each side by "x".
a=2x1+6
Simplifying
a=2x1+6
Reorder the terms:
a=6±2x1
