Question
Solve the equation
Solve for n
Solve for p
n=0n=p
Evaluate
n×p1×1=p2n2
Multiply the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
n×p1×1
Rewrite the expression
n×p1
Multiply the terms
pn
pn=p2n2
Cross multiply
np2=pn2
Simplify the equation
p2n=pn2
Rewrite the expression
p×pn=pn2
Evaluate
pn=n2
Move the expression to the left side
pn−n2=0
Factor the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
pn−n2
Rewrite the expression
np−n×n
Factor out n from the expression
n(p−n)
n(p−n)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
n=0p−n=0
Solution
More Steps

Evaluate
p−n=0
Move the expression to the right-hand side and change its sign
−n=0−p
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−n=−p
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
n=p
n=0n=p
