Question

$$x-m=n+p$$

Solve for m

$m=x-n-p$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $x$ from both sides.

$$-m=n+p-x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-m=p+n-x$$

Divide both sides by $-1$.

$$\frac{-m}{-1}=\frac{p+n-x}{-1}$$

Dividing by $-1$ undoes the multiplication by $-1$.

$$m=\frac{p+n-x}{-1}$$

Divide $n+p-x$ by $-1$.

$$m=x-n-p$$
