Question

What value of p makes the equation true?
2.5+0.15p=0.4p

Answer 1

P=10

Explanation:

2.5=0.4p−0.15p

2.5=0.25p

2.5/0.25=p

10=p

p=10

Answer 2

The equation is true for a value of 10 for p.

Explanation:

To solve this we have to clear the value of p from the given equation, this will make the equation true for a value of p. We have:

`2.5+0.15p=0.4p\\2.5=0.4p-0.15p\\2.5=0.25p\\(2.5)/(0.25) =p\\p=10`

The equation is true for a value of 10 for p.
