Answer:
[text] x = p(m - n) [/tex]
Or
[text] x = pm - pn [/tex]
Explanation:
Given:
[text] m = n + \frac{x}{p} [/tex]
Required:
Make x the subject of the formula
Solution:
What we are required to do is to rewrite the equation so that x will be alone on one side while the other variables will be on the other side.
[text] m = n + \frac{x}{p} [/tex]
Subtract n from each side
[text] m - n = n + \frac{x}{p} - n [/tex]
[text] m - n = \frac{x}{p} [/tex]
Multiply both sides by p
[text] p(m - n) = \frac{x}{p}*p [/tex]
[text] p(m - n) = x [/tex]
[text] x = p(m - n) [/tex]
Or
[text] x = pm - pn [/tex]
