Basic Math Examples

$p = 2 a + 2 b$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as

$2 a + 2 b = p$ .

$2 a + 2 b = p$

Step 2

Subtract

$2 b$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 a = p - 2 b$

Step 3

Divide each term in

$2 a = p - 2 b$ by

$2$ and simplify.

Step 3.1

Divide each term in

$2 a = p - 2 b$ by

$2$ .

$\frac{2 a}{2} = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{- 2 b}{2}$

Step 3.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 a}{2} = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{- 2 b}{2}$

Step 3.2.1.2

Divide

$a$ by

$1$ .

$a = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{- 2 b}{2}$

$a = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{- 2 b}{2}$

$a = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{- 2 b}{2}$

Step 3.3.1.1

Factor

$2$ out of

$- 2 b$ .

$a = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{2 (- b)}{2}$

Step 3.3.1.2

Cancel the common factors.

Step 3.3.1.2.1

Factor

$2$ out of

$2$ .

$a = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{2 (- b)}{2 (1)}$

Step 3.3.1.2.2

Cancel the common factor.

$a = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{2 (- b)}{2 \cdot 1}$

Step 3.3.1.2.3

Rewrite the expression.

$a = \frac{p}{2} + \frac{- b}{1}$

Step 3.3.1.2.4

Divide

$- b$ by

$1$ .

$a = \frac{p}{2} - b$

$a = \frac{p}{2} - b$

$a = \frac{p}{2} - b$

$a = \frac{p}{2} - b$

$a = \frac{p}{2} - b$
