Answer:
[tex]x=-\frac{5}{p}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]px +17= 12[/tex]
To solve for x we need to get 'x' alone
LEts start with eliminating 17 on both sides
Subtract 17 from both sides
[tex]px +17-17= 12-17[/tex]
[tex]px=-5[/tex]
Now to eliminate p we divide by p on both sides
[tex]x=-\frac{5}{p}[/tex]
