Question

How to solve x/m = n/p. Solve for x. Please include steps for solving. Thank you

Answer 1

`x=(n)/(p)m`

Explanation:

Since we have two variables on the left side (x and p), and they are being divided, we need to do the opposite in order to get it to the other side. Therefore, we multiply both sides of the equation by m.

Doing that, we get

`(x)/(m) m=(n)/(p)m\\\\\\So,x= (n)/(p)m\\`
