First, subtract px2 from both sides.
Now you have:
x3 - px2 = (1 - p) x1
Next, divide both sides by (1 - p)
So now you have
x3 - px2/(1 - p) = x1
...as your final answer
*You can decide if you want to leave the parenthesis in your final answer, I left them there so it could be visible where I put them. :)
4 = 2 * 2
Multiplying by 2 is the same a doubling.
Since 4 is 2 * 2, to multiply a number by 4, double the number twice.
Example:
What is 4 * 100?
Double 100 to get 200.
Double 200 to get 400.
Therefore, 4 * 100 = 400.
By doubling twice, we do the same as multiplying by 4.
The answer to the math question
3x - 5 = -26
<u>step 1:</u>
subtract +5 on each side because you have to do the inverse operation
<u>step 2:</u>
3x= -21
<u>step 3:</u>
now divide 3 on each side
the answer is -7
