Solution Steps

To solve the subtraction problem given in part (b), we need to isolate \( P(x) \) by subtracting \(\frac{3}{8}\) from 1. This will give us the value of \( P(x) \).

Solution Approach
  1. Subtract \(\frac{3}{8}\) from 1 to find \( P(x) \).
Step 1: Calculate \( P(x) \)

To find \( P(x) \), we start with the equation:

\[ 1 - P(x) = \frac{3}{8} \]

We can isolate \( P(x) \) by rearranging the equation:

\[ P(x) = 1 - \frac{3}{8} \]

Step 2: Perform the subtraction

Now, we perform the subtraction:

\[ P(x) = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8} \]

Final Answer

Thus, the value of \( P(x) \) is

\[ \boxed{P(x) = \frac{5}{8}} \]
