Thread: sloving for two variables including fractions

Hi Guys,

Hoping you can help with a simple manipulation problem??

I need to solve for P:

Q=120,000.(1-P/140)

If you could post steps to solving it would be great.

Thanks for your help!

1. Divide both sides by 120,000.
2. Move Q/120,000 to the right side and P/140 to the left side.
3. Multiply both sides by 140.
