Question

Z=8+6x-px I need to solve x

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{z-8}{6-p}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$z=8+6x-px$

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

Factor out x in common

$z=8+x(6-p)$

Subtract 8 from both sides

$z-8=8-8+x(6-p)$

$z-8=x(6-p$

Divide by 6-p on both sides

$\frac{z-8}{6-p} =\frac{x(6-p)}{6-p}$

$\frac{z-8}{6-p} =x$

$x=\frac{z-8}{6-p}$

Answer 2

     Z = 8 + 6x - px   Subtract 8 from both sides
Z - 8 = 6x - px         Factor out x
Z - 8 = x (6 - p)        Divide both sides by (6 - p)
$\frac{Z - 8}{6 - p}$ = x   Switch the sides to make it easier to read
x = $\frac{Z - 8}{6 - p}$
