Solve x:(-1/p)=42/2e

$$x : ( - \frac { 1 } { p } ) = 4 \frac { 2 } { 2 } e$$

Solve for p

$$p=-\frac{5e}{x}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

$$-2px=\left(4\times 2+2\right)e$$

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$-2px=\left(8+2\right)e$$

Add 8 and 2 to get 10.

$$-2px=10e$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\left(-2x\right)p=10e$$

Divide both sides by -2x.

$$\frac{\left(-2x\right)p}{-2x}=\frac{10e}{-2x}$$

Dividing by -2x undoes the multiplication by -2x.

$$p=\frac{10e}{-2x}$$

Divide 10e by -2x.

$$p=-\frac{5e}{x}$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{5e}{p}$$

$$p\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

$$-2px=\left(4\times 2+2\right)e$$

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$-2px=\left(8+2\right)e$$

Add 8 and 2 to get 10.

$$-2px=10e$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\left(-2p\right)x=10e$$

Divide both sides by -2p.

$$\frac{\left(-2p\right)x}{-2p}=\frac{10e}{-2p}$$

Dividing by -2p undoes the multiplication by -2p.

$$x=\frac{10e}{-2p}$$

Divide 10e by -2p.

$$x=-\frac{5e}{p}$$
