Question

$$\frac{a-3}{q^{2}}=P$$

Solve for P

$P=\frac{a-3}{q^{2}}$
$q\neq 0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $q^{2}$.

$$a-3=Pq^{2}$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$Pq^{2}=a-3$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$q^{2}P=a-3$$

Divide both sides by $q^{2}$.

$$\frac{q^{2}P}{q^{2}}=\frac{a-3}{q^{2}}$$

Dividing by $q^{2}$ undoes the multiplication by $q^{2}$.

$$P=\frac{a-3}{q^{2}}$$

Solve for a

$a=Pq^{2}+3$
$q\neq 0$
