Question

Make x the subject of the formula

Answer 1

`x=p(m-n)`

Explanation:

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

Put n to the other side by subtraction.

`m(-n)=n(-n)+(x)/(p)\\m-n=+(x)/(p)\\`

Use multiplication with 'p' to isolate x.

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

x is now isolated.

`x=p(m-n)`

Answer 2

`m = n + (x)/(p) \\ pm = pn + x \\ x = pm - pn \\ or \\ x = p(m - n)`
