Questiona) Factorise nx+17xn x+17 x b) Use your answer to part a) to make xx the subject of nx+17x=pn x+17 x=p

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given an expression nx+17x n x + 17 x to factorize.
2. We need to use the factorized form to solve for x x in the equation nx+17x=p n x + 17 x = p .

STEP 2

1. Factorize the expression nx+17x n x + 17 x .
2. Use the factorized expression to solve for x x in the equation nx+17x=p n x + 17 x = p .

STEP 3

Identify the common factor in the terms nx n x and 17x 17 x . Notice that x x is a common factor.
nx+17x=x(n+17) n x + 17 x = x(n + 17)

STEP 4

Use the factorized expression x(n+17) x(n + 17) to rewrite the equation nx+17x=p n x + 17 x = p .
x(n+17)=p x(n + 17) = p

STEP 5

Solve for x x by dividing both sides of the equation by (n+17) (n + 17) .
x=pn+17 x = \frac{p}{n + 17}
The subject x x is now expressed as:
x=pn+17 x = \frac{p}{n + 17}
