Xp+yp=z. (ignore the period, any answers)

Xp + yp = z

You are solving for p :)

So, in order to find the value of p, you must get p to it's own side, and isolate it.

Since there are two "p's," you could change "xp + yp" to "p(x + y).

p(x + y) = z

Then, we must divide both sides by x + y

p(x + y) ÷ x + y = z ÷ x + y

Simplify.

p = z/x + y
