Question

5 (P-4)=2

This problem is also hard for me:'(​

Answer 1

p = 36/5, or p = 7 1/5

Explanation:

Next time, please include the instructions.

I think the goal is to solve this equation for p.

Let me write this equation as

(5/8)(p - 4) = 2

We can get rid of the fractional coefficient (5/8) by multiplying both sides of this equation by (8/5). This gives us:

p - 4 = (8/5)(2).

Let's eliminate fractions again. To do this, multiply all 3 terms by 5. We'll then have:

5p - 20 = 16

Solve for p. To do this, add 20 to both sides:

5p = 36

so that p = 36/5, or p = 7 1/5
