Answer:

p = 10

Explanation:

1\4(8 - 4p) + 2p = 12

8 - 4p/4 + 2p = 12

8 - 4p + 8p/4 = 12

8 + 4p = 12 × 4

4p = 48 - 8

4p = 40

p = 40/4

p = 10

Thus, the value of p is 10

For this case we have the following equation:


\frac {1} {4} (8-4p) + 2p = 12

We apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses.


\frac {8} {4} - \frac {4p} {4} + 2p = 12\\2-p + 2p = 12\\2 + p = 12

Subtracting 2 on both sides of the equation:


p = 12-2\\p = 10

ANswer:


p = 10
