Question

Make x the subject of m=n+ x/p

Answer 1

x = p(m-n)

Explanation:

making 'x' the subject means to change the equation to 'x=' instead of 'm='

since 'x' is being divided by 'p' we can multiply each side of the equation by 'p' to get:

pm = pn + x

now we can subtract 'pn' from each side to get:

pm - pn = x

we can simplify this to become: x = p(m-n)
