Find p : x+3 / p - m = c(a/b + x)
We want to isolate p on one side of the equation and we'll start by adding m to both sides:
x+3/p-m+m=c(a/b+x)+m Next subtract x from both sides
x-x+3/p-m+m=c(a/b+x)+m-x Simplifying we have:
3/p=c(a/b+x)+m-x Next we'll multiply both sides by p:
3p/p=p(c(a/b+x)+m-x)
and (using the if b=a then a=b concept)
p(c(a/b+x)+m-x)=3 now divide both sides by (c(a/b+x)+m-x)
p=3/(c(a/b+x)+m-x) We can further simplify this by multiplying the right side by b/b:
p=3b/(cba/b+cbx+mb-bx) and this equals:
p=3b/(ca+cbx+mb-bx) Unless I goofed, that should be it.
