solve the formula for the indicated variable

Question

P = w - s

        x 

solve for w,

 

please if you can provide the step by step explanation to this equation, I will really appreciate

 

Answer 1

P = W -s

      X

Multiply both sides by X

 

PX = W - S 

 

Add S to both sides of equation:

 

   PX + S = W  

Answer 2

P=(w-s)/x

eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides by x

xP=x(w-s)/x

xP=w-s

add s to both sides

xP+s=w-s+s

xP+s=w
