Question

Need help solving for X, nothing else. Pls

Answer 1

Let's solve for x.

`px-qx=r`

Step 1: Factor out variable x.

`x(p-q)=r`

Step 2: Divide both sides by p-q.

`(x(p-q))/(p-q) =(r)/(p-q) \\\\x=(r)/(p-q)`

So, the answer to this problem is x=r/p-q

Answer 2

Explanation:

Use the distributive property.

Take x outside the brackets.

(px - qx) = r

x (p - q) = r

divide by (p - q)

x (p - q)/(p - q) = r / (p - q)

x = r / (p - q)
