Solve the equation for x.

Solve the equation for x.

So I multiply by 40 so I get 40p+x =800
Now what?

Subtract p and multiply by 40. That's it.

Subtract p and multiply by 40. That's it.

Why would you multiply by 40?

 

[beachbunny619]

wouldn't x = -40p + 800?

Yes, it would. See, you can do it.
