Solve -px+q=0

$$- p x + q = 0$$

Solve for p (complex solution)

$$\left\{\begin{matrix}p=\frac{q}{x}\text{, }&x\neq 0\\p\in \mathrm{C}\text{, }&q=0\text{ and }x=0\end{matrix}\right.$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract q from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$\left(-p\right)x=-q$$

Reorder the terms.

$$-px=-q$$

Cancel out -1 on both sides.

$$px=q$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$xp=q$$

Divide both sides by x.

$$\frac{xp}{x}=\frac{q}{x}$$

Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.

$$p=\frac{q}{x}$$

Solve for p

$$\left\{\begin{matrix}p=\frac{q}{x}\text{, }&x\neq 0\\p\in \mathrm{R}\text{, }&q=0\text{ and }x=0\end{matrix}\right.$$

Divide both sides by x.

$$\frac{xp}{x}=\frac{q}{x}$$

Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.

$$p=\frac{q}{x}$$

Solve for q

$$q=px$$

Solution Steps

Subtract \left(-p\right)x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$q=-\left(-p\right)x$$

Multiply -1 and -1 to get 1.

$$q=px$$
