Question

Solve step by step
2(p+8)=26

Answer 1

Answer:5

Explanation:

2(p+8)=26

2p+16=26

subtract 16 on both sides

you get 2p=10

divide 2 on both sides and get 5

Answer 2

p = 5

Explanation:

`2(p+8)=26\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\(2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1(p+8))/(2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1)=(26\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^(13))/(2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1)\\\\p+8=13\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\\p=5`
