Answer 1

Answer:

P = -x^3 +12 / x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for p.

px=(2)(4)−x3+(2)(2)−6p

Step 1: Add 6p to both sides.

px+6p=−x3−6p+12+6p

px+6p=−x3+12

Step 2: Factor out variable p.

p(x+6)=−x3+12

Step 3: Divide both sides by x+6.p(x+6)

x+6

=

−x3+12

x+6

p=

−x3+12

x+6
