Answer:

x = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{x-16}{x+6}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

5(x - 16) = 3(x + 6) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

5x - 80 = 3x + 18 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 80 = 18 ( add 80 to both sides )

2x = 98 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 49

M=p/n+4 make n the subject

Kipish [7]

Answer:

$n = \frac {p - 4m}{m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the algebraic expression;

$m = \frac {p}{n + 4}$

To make n the subject of formula.

Cross-multiplying, we have;

$m*(n+4) = p$

$mn + 4m = p$

Rearranging the equation, we have;

$mn = p - 4m$

$n = \frac {p - 4m}{m}$
