Question

Type the correct answer in each box.

Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).
Consider the equation.
4(px+1)=64
The value of x in terms of p is ____ .
The value of x when p is −5 is____ .

Answer 1

p 5x1 x 6

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\text{The value of x in terms of p is }(15)/(p)`

The value of x is -3 when p is -5

Explanation:

Given the equation 4(px+1)=64

we have to find the value of x in terms of p and value of x when p is -5.

4(px+1)=64

Divide throughout by 4

⇒
`px+1=(64)/(4)=16`

Subtracting 1 from both sides,we get

`px=16-1=15`

⇒
`x=(15)/(p)`

When p=-5

`x=(15)/(-5)=-3`

The value of x is -3 when p is -5
