what do you mean?

mrnood · Answer

m(x-q)
can be 'expanded'  (multiply all terms inside the bracket by the term outside)

anonymous · Answer

mx-mq

Sorry everytime I try to type I have to refresh the page. But I did try what you said its written above.

mrnood · Answer

OK that is correct

so the equation now reads
y-p = mx - mq

You want to solve for x
So rearrange the equation so that all the terms with x in are on one side, and all those without x in are on the other side.

Hint - the only term with x in is 'mx' so keep that on one side and rearrange the rest...
