Question

Z=8+6x-px I need to solve x

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

`z=8+6x-px`

To solve for x we need to get 'x' alone

Factor out x in common

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

Subtract 8 from both sides

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

`z-8=x(6-p`

Divide by 6-p on both sides

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

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

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

Answer 2

Z = 8 + 6x - px Subtract 8 from both sides
Z - 8 = 6x - px Factor out x
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)`
