Basic Math Examples

$3.6 p - p = m - 0.4 p$

Step 1

Subtract $p$ from $3.6 p$ .

$2.6 p = m - 0.4 p$

Step 2

Move all terms containing $p$ to the left side of the equation.

Step 2.1

Add $0.4 p$ to both sides of the equation.

$2.6 p + 0.4 p = m$

Step 2.2

Add $2.6 p$ and $0.4 p$ .

$3 p = m$

Step 3

Divide each term in $3 p = m$ by $3$ and simplify.

Step 3.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 p}{3} = \frac{m}{3}$

Step 3.2.1.2

Divide $p$ by $1$ .

$p = \frac{m}{3}$

Step 3.3

Simplify the right side.

Step 3.3.1

Multiply by $1$ .

$p = \frac{1 m}{3}$

Step 3.3.2

Factor $3$ out of $3$ .

$p = \frac{1 m}{3 (1)}$

Step 3.3.3

Separate fractions.

$p = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{m}{1}$

Step 3.3.4

Divide $1$ by $3$ .

$p = 0.\overline{3} \frac{m}{1}$

Step 3.3.5

Divide $m$ by $1$ .

$p = 0.\overline{3} m$
