Solution Steps

To solve for \( a \) in terms of other variables, we need to isolate \( a \) on one side of the equation. We have two equations: \( a + b - 4 = P \) and \( a = m \). Since \( a = m \) is already solved for \( a \), we can substitute \( m \) into the first equation to express \( a \) in terms of \( b \) and \( P \).

Step 1: Isolate \( a \)

We start with the equation: \[ a + b - 4 = P \] To isolate \( a \), we rearrange the equation: \[ a = P - b + 4 \]

Step 2: Substitute \( a \)

We also have the equation: \[ a = m \] By substituting \( m \) into the rearranged equation, we can express \( a \) in terms of \( b \) and \( P \): \[ m = P - b + 4 \]

Final Answer

Thus, the expression for \( a \) in terms of \( b \) and \( P \) is: \[ \boxed{a = P - b + 4} \]
