Question

4/|p|+12=14.

Can you solve with the absolute value of p as a denominator?

Answer 1

Here we go,


`(4)/( |p| ) + 12 = 14`

Subtract 12 from both sides,


`(4)/( |p| ) + 12 - 12 = 14 - 12 \\ (4)/( |p| ) = 2`

Multiply both sides with |p|


`(4)/( |p| ) * |p| = 2 * |p | \\ 4 = 2 * |p| \\`
divide both sides with 2


`(4)/(2) = ((2 * |p| ))/(2) \\ 2 = |p|`

Therefore,

|p| equals 2.
