Question

Solve px+17=12 for x

Answer 1

Your answer is B. x= -5/p

Answer 2

Answer:

$x=-\frac{5}{p}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$px +17= 12$

To solve for x we need to get 'x' alone

LEts start with eliminating 17 on both sides

Subtract 17 from both sides

$px +17-17= 12-17$

$px=-5$

Now to eliminate p we divide by p on both sides

$x=-\frac{5}{p}$
