Make x the subject of m = n + X/P

Hello there, and welcome to !

In this case, x is to be made the subject of the equation, setting x by itself.

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, subtract n from both sides of the equation:

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

m - n = x/p

Next, fully isolate the x by multiplying p to all terms on both sides of the equation:

(p) * (m - n) = (x/p) * (p)

p * (m - n) = x

Next, simplify. Distribute p to all terms within the parenthesis:

p(m - n) = x

pm - pn = x

x = pm - pn is your answer.
