Question

Solve px+17=12 for x

Answer 1

your answer is B. x= -5/p

Answer 2

`x=-(5)/(p)`

Explanation:

`px +17= 12`

To solve for x we need to get 'x' alone

LEts start with eliminating 17 on both sides

Subtract 17 from both sides

`px +17-17= 12-17`

`px=-5`

Now to eliminate p we divide by p on both sides

`x=-(5)/(p)`
