Evaluate Using the Given Value px-qy=r

$p x - q y = r$

Step 1

Add $q y$ to both sides of the equation.

$p x = r + q y$

Step 2

Divide each term in $p x = r + q y$ by $x$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $p x = r + q y$ by $x$ .

$\frac{p x}{x} = \frac{r}{x} + \frac{q y}{x}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $x$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{p x}{x} = \frac{r}{x} + \frac{q y}{x}$

Divide $p$ by $1$ .

$p = \frac{r}{x} + \frac{q y}{x}$
