Question

How do you solve for X in `TX-B=P`?

Answer 1

`X=(P+B)/T`

Explanation:

to solve for X means leave X alone on the left-hand side.. So

1. add B to both sides

`TX-B+B=P+B`
`TX=P+B`

1. divide both sides by T

`TX/T= (P+B)/T`
`X=(P+B)/T`

remember: while solving equations, what you do to one side, you should do the same to the other.
