Teagan Mcdonald · Answer 1

m = p/5 - 10

m = (p-50) / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

What we practically want to here is to make m the subject of the formula.

Start by opening the brackets

P = 5m + 50

P-50 = 5m

Divide through by 5

(P-50) / 5 = m

P/5 - 50/5 = m

P/5 - 10 = m

The option that looks probable is C; M = (P-50) / 5
