Question

Z=8+6x-px

solve for x

Answer 1

The value of the provide equation for x is
`x=(z-8)/(6-p)`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`z=8+6x-px`

We need to solve the equation for x.

Subtract 8 from both sides.

`z-8=8-8+6x-px`

`z-8=6x-px`

Take x common from right side.

`z-8=x(6-p)`

Divide both the sides by 6-p.

`(z-8)/(6-p)=(x(6-p))/(6-p)`

`x=(z-8)/(6-p)`

Hence, the value of the provide equation for x is
`x=(z-8)/(6-p)`.

Answer 2

z = 8 + 6x - px Subtract 8 from both sides
z - 8 = 6x - px Factor the x out of 6x - px
z - 8 = x (6 - p) Divide both sides by (6 - p)

`(z - 8)/(6 - p)` = x Switch the sides to make it easier to read
x =
`(z - 8)/(6 - p)`
