Z=8+6x-px
I need to solve the literal equation for x. Please help!!

x = (z-8)/(6-p)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are to solve for x.

In quite more understandable words, we are trying to make x the subject of the formula.

To do this, we simply bring together, the terms that have x common to them.

Let’s proceed mathematically;

z = 8 + 6x - px

Let’s take 8 to z to make it negative and factor out x since it’s common to the two terms on the right hand side of the equation.

z - 8 = x(6-p)

The final thing to do here is to isolate x and this gives the below;

We can do this by dividing both sides by the coefficient of x which is 6-p in this case.

Thus;

x = (z-8)/(6-p)

b, i believe, but not sure.
