Question

yp+yq=x
solve the equation for y

Answer 1

Answer: $y=\frac{x}{p+q}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following equation provided in the exercise:

$yp+yq=x$

You can follow these steps in order to solve the equation for the variable "y":

1. You must factor the left side of the equation by taking Common factor:

$y(p+q)=x$

2. Finally, you need to divide both sides of the equation by $p+q$. Then, you get:

$\frac{y(p+q)}{(p+q)}=\frac{x}{(p+q)}\\\\y=\frac{x}{p+q}$
