Formulae

Wouldn't it be simpler to say a = 5,000(x-1) or a = 5,000x - 5,000? Remember, dividing by 1/5,000 is the same as multiplying by 5,000; dividing by x is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of x and vice versa. expressed formally we say: k ÷ x = k × 1/x = k/x and k × x = k ÷ 1/x = k × x/1 = kx).. If we'd written x = a/5,000 +1 and used the same algebraic manipulations (subtract 1 from both sides, giving x +1 = a/5,000; then multiply both sides by 5,000).
