Question

Rewrite the equation x = 65 - 60p by factoring the side that contains the variable p.

Answer 1

Answer:
`x=5(13-12p)`

Explanation:

Given equation:
`x=65-60p`

`\\\Rightarrowx=(5*13)-(5*12)p`

Since 5 is the greatest common factor of 65 and 60 in the given expression.

Therefore, the above expression can be written as

`x=5(13-12p)`

Hence, by factoring the side that contains the variable p we have the expression
`x=5(13-12p)`.
