Write an equation in the form PX + q equals r to represent this problem

__x+10=30

What does p equal in this equation

1 answer

In the equation PX + q = r, p represents the coefficient of x. However, there is a typo in the equation you provided. It should be 1/2x + 10 = 300. In this equation, p would be equal to 1/2.
