Solve p-delta=3p

$$p - \delta = 3 p$$

Solve for p

$$p=-\frac{\delta }{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 3p from both sides.

$$p-\delta -3p=0$$

Combine p and -3p to get -2p.

$$-2p-\delta =0$$

Add \delta to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-2p=\delta$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$\frac{-2p}{-2}=\frac{\delta }{-2}$$

Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.

$$p=\frac{\delta }{-2}$$

Divide \delta by -2.

$$p=-\frac{\delta }{2}$$

Solve for δ

$$\delta =-2p$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract p from both sides.

$$-\delta =3p-p$$

Combine 3p and -p to get 2p.

$$-\delta =2p$$

Divide both sides by -1.

$$\frac{-\delta }{-1}=\frac{2p}{-1}$$

Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.

$$\delta =\frac{2p}{-1}$$

Divide 2p by -1.

$$\delta =-2p$$
