M+5n=p for m

Solving for a variable

M=p-5n

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that M+5n=p

We are asked to solve this equation for M. In order to do that we will follow these steps.

Subtracting 5n from both sides we get

M+5n-5n=p-5n

M=p-5n

Hence, now we have our M as dependent variable, whose value depends on the values of p and n. One or both of them can be independent variable/.
