Question:

m / n = p - 6


Answer:

You didn’t include a question with your equation, so I’m not sure what you need.

You can solve for each variable as follows:


1. Solve for m


m / n = p - 6

to remove the variable n from the left side of the equation, multiply each side of the equation by n

n * (m / n) = n * (p - 6)

m * (n / n) = n * (p - 6)

m * (1) = n * (p - 6)

m = n * (p - 6)

applying the distributive law to n * (p - 6)

m = n * p + n * (- 6)

m = np + n * (- 6)

m = np - 6n


2. Solve for n


m / n = p - 6

to remove the variable n from the denominator of the fraction m / n, multiply each side of the equation by n

n * (m / n) = n * (p - 6)

m * (n / n) = n * (p - 6)

m * (1) = n * (p - 6)

m = n * (p - 6)

to eliminate (p - 6) from the right side of the equation, divide both sides of the equation by (p - 6)

m / (p - 6) = n * (p - 6) / (p - 6)

m / (p - 6) = n * [(p - 6) / (p – 6)]

m / (p - 6) = n * (1)

m / (p - 6) = n

n = m / (p - 6)


3. Solve for p


m / n = p - 6

to remove the -6 from the right side of the equation, add 6 to each side of the equation

(m / n) + 6 = p - 6 + 6

(m / n) + 6 = p + 0

(m / n) + 6 = p

p = (m / n) + 6




Thanks for writing.
