Question

What is m-a = n+p, for a

Answer 1

a = m - n - p

Explanation:

isolate the term in a by subtracting m from both sides

- a = n + p - m ( multiply through by - 1 )

a = - n - p + m = m - n - p

Answer 2

A=m-n-p

Explanation:

So solve for a, we have to isolate it on one side, so -a=n+p-m. So a=m-n-p
