Question

Solve for N: X= MN - P

Answer 1

The given equation is

$X=MN-P$

First, we add P on each side.

$\begin{gathered} X+P=MN-P+P \\ X+P=MN \end{gathered}$

Then, we divide the equation by M.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{X+P}{M}=\frac{MN}{M} \\ N=\frac{X+P}{M} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the solution is

$N=\frac{X+P}{M}$
