Given system%28A=P%2BPrt%2CA=63%2Cr=4%2Ct=2%29

Solve for P.

A=P%281%2Brt%29
highlight%28P=A%2F%281%2Brt%29%29-----solved for P, as formula.

Value of P:
substitute the given values.
P=63%2F%281%2B4%2A2%29

P=63%2F%289%29

highlight%28P=7%29

Solve for P if, A=P+Prt and A=63, r=4 and t=2
SIMPLY substitute 63 for A, 4 for r, and 2 for t.

Thus, A = P + Prt becomes: 63 = P + P(4)(2)

63 = P + 8P

63 = 9P



That's it....nothing CONFUSING or COMPLEX.
