Answer:
x = (z-8)/(6-p)
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are to solve for x.
In quite more understandable words, we are trying to make x the subject of the formula.
To do this, we simply bring together, the terms that have x common to them.
Let’s proceed mathematically;
z = 8 + 6x - px
Let’s take 8 to z to make it negative and factor out x since it’s common to the two terms on the right hand side of the equation.
z - 8 = x(6-p)
The final thing to do here is to isolate x and this gives the below;
We can do this by dividing both sides by the coefficient of x which is 6-p in this case.
Thus;
x = (z-8)/(6-p)
