Question

Solve the following equation for p: 6/p=x+a

Answer 1

$\dfrac 6p = x+a\\\\\implies \dfrac 6p \times\dfrac 16 = (x+a) \times\dfrac 16 ~~~~~~;\left[\text{Multiply both sides by}~ \dfrac 16 \right]\\\\\implies \dfrac 1p = \dfrac{x+a}6\\\\\implies p= \dfrac{6}{x+a}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Cross multiply}]$
