A=3P+5Prt
solve for P
A=P(3+rt)
divide both sides by (3+rt)
I'm still not understanding how to do this problem.
To solve the equation A = 3P + 5Prt for P, we need to isolate the variable P on one side of the equation.
1. Start by distributing P to the terms inside the parentheses:
A = 3P + 5P * r * t
2. Combine the two terms that have P:
A = (3 + 5rt)P
3. Divide both sides of the equation by (3 + 5rt) to solve for P:
A / (3 + 5rt) = P
Therefore, the solution for P is A divided by (3 + 5rt).
