Question

X/m −x=n, what does x equal to if m≠1?

Answer 1

x = mn/(1 -m)

Explanation:

Factor out x, then multiply by the reciprocal of its coefficient.

x/m -x = n

x(1/m -1) = n . . . . . factor out x

x(1 -m)/m = n . . . . simplify the coefficient of x; next multiply by its reciprocal

x = mn/(1 -m)
