Question

Solve the literal equation for x
P = 4x + qx - 5

Answer 1

Let's solve for p.p=4x+qx−5Answer:p=qx+4x−5

Answer 2

The value of the equation is
`x=(P+5)/(4+q)`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`P=4x+qx-5`

We need to solve the provided equation for x.

Subtract 5 from both side.

`P+5=4x+qx-5+5`

`P+5=4x+qx`

Take x common as shown:

`P+5=x(4+q)`

Divide both sides by 4+q.

`(P+5)/(4+q)=(x(4+q))/(4+q)`

`x=(P+5)/(4+q)`

Hence, the value of the equation is
`x=(P+5)/(4+q)`.
