Answer:

A) x = m - n - p

Explanation:

m - x = n + p

subtract m from both sides

m - x (- m) = n + p (- m)

m cancels out on the left and stays on the right

- x = n + p - m

divide by -1 because this is the constant in front of x

visualize as -1*x if it helps (anything multiplied by 1 is that number)

(- x / -1) = (n / -1) + (p/ -1) - (m/ -1)

the positives become negative and the negatives become positive

x = -n - p + m or x = m - n - p
