Final answer:

To solve for w in the equation 41 + zw = p, subtract 41 from both sides and then divide by z, yielding w = (p - 41) / z.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for w in the equation 41 + zw = p, we want to isolate w on one side of the equation. Here is a step-by-step solution:

  1. Subtract 41 from both sides of the equation to get zw = p - 41.
  2. Divide both sides of the equation by z (assuming z is not zero) to get w = (p - 41) / z.

Now you have expressed w in terms of p and z, with w isolated on one side of the equation.

41 + zw - 41 = p - 41

zw = p - 41

Then we can divide both sides of the equation by z to solve for w:

w = (p - 41) / z
