Question

P(qx+5) is equivalent to 18x +r. What are possible values for p, w, and x?

Answer 1

Answer:

p = 18x + r / qx + 5

x = r - 5p / pq - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

p(qx + 5) = 18x + r

p = 18x + r / qx + 5

for x:

p(qx + 5) = 18x + r

qx + 5 = 18x/p + r/p

qx - 18x/p = r/p - 5

pqx - 18x / p = r/p - 5

x(pq - 18) / p = r/p - 5

x(pq - 18) = r - 5p

x = r - 5p / pq - 18
