Question

P= k+n+m solve for k

Answer 1

So you are looking at a similar setup.Write out the equation and manipulate both sides simultaneously.\[P=k+n+m\] What can you subtract from both sides?

Answer 2

The goal is to get an equation which has k on one side by itself.

Answer 3

umm im not sure

Answer 4

you subtract k from both sides?

Answer 5

Try again. You want to leave k alone and move the other parts of the equation.

Answer 6

p?

Answer 7

For instance you could subtract m from both sides\[P=k+n+m\]\[P-m=k+n+m-m\]\[P-m=k+n\]

Answer 8

okay i see what you did there

Answer 9

So what is next?

Answer 10

so i have p-m=k+n and I switch n to the other side with a minus sign?

Answer 11

show me.

Answer 12

p-m-n=k

Answer 13

??

Answer 14

Yes. You have solved it.

Answer 15
