Answer:
x = [tex]x = \frac{2+r}{p-8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
(2+r)/(p-8) = x
-px+r=-8x-2
Add px to each side
-px+r+px=-8x+px-2
r = -8x+px -2
Add 2 to each side
2+r = px-8x
Factor out an x
(2+r) = x(p-8)
Divide each side by (p-8)
(2+r)/(p-8) = x(p-8)/(p-8)
