Question

x/m −x=n, what does x equal to if m≠1?

Answer 1

Answer:

  x = mn/(1 -m)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor out x, then multiply by the reciprocal of its coefficient.

  x/m -x = n

  x(1/m -1) = n . . . . . factor out x

  x(1 -m)/m = n . . . . simplify the coefficient of x; next multiply by its reciprocal

  x = mn/(1 -m)
