Question

Solve each equation for the indicated variable-3a - 3 =-2n +3p, for a-3+2n - 3p3

Answer 1

To solve the equation for a, add 3 to both sides of the equation

`\begin{gathered} -3a-3+3=-2n+3p+3 \\ -3a=-2n+3p+3 \end{gathered}`

Now divide by -3 into both sides of the equation

`\begin{gathered} (-3a)/(-3)=(-2n+3p+3)/(-3) \\ a=(-2n)/(-3)+(3p)/(-3)+(3)/(-3) \\ a=(2n)/(3)-p-1 \end{gathered}`
