Question

Solve for p in the literal equation 2p + 3r = q. P =

Answer 1

Answer:

$p = \frac{ q - 3r }{ 2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2p + 3r = q

2p + 3r - 3r = q - 3r                 [ subtract 3r from both sides ]

2p + 0 = q - 3r                        [ -3r + 3r = 0 ]

2p = q - 3r

$\frac{2p}{2} = \frac{q-3r}{2}$                                 [ divide by 2 on both sides ]

$p = \frac{ q - 3r }{ 2}$
