Chapter 2: Problem 49

Given \(P+Q=z\), solve for \(P\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
Given the equation \(P + Q = z\), we solve for \(P\) by subtracting \(Q\) from both sides, which gives us \(P = z - Q\).

Step by step solution

01

Write down the given equation

First, we write down the given equation as it is: \(P + Q = z\).
02

Subtract Q from both sides

In order to isolate \(P\), we will subtract \(Q\) from both sides of the equation. This cancels out \(Q\) on the left side of the equation: \[ P + Q - Q = z - Q \]
03

Simplify the equation

Now, let's simplify the equation. Since \(Q - Q\) equals zero, we are left with: \[ P = z - Q \]
04

Write down the final answer

We have successfully isolated \(P\) on one side of the equation, and our final answer is: \[ P = z - Q \]
