Answer:

48

Explanation:

Start by dividing both sides of the equation by 1/8.

9 divided by 1/8 is equivalent to 9 times 8, so we are left with

(p+24)= 72

Now subtract 24 from both sides to get p by itself.

72-24= 48

P= 48

Step-by-step explanation: In order to factor an integer, which is 8, we'll need to repeatedly divide it by ascending sequence of primes. (2, 3, 5). The number of times that each prime divides the original integer becomes Its exoponent.

In the example 1/8 (p + 24) = 9, Prime number 2 to the 3rd power equals 8.


(1)/(2^3) (p +24)=9

We now need to perform a multiplication. We can use this rule:
(A)/(B) C=(AC)/(B)

In the example, the factors are in the new numerator are: 1, (p + 24), notice that all non-fraction factors are placed in the numerator. The factors in the denominator are:
2^3


(p + 24)/(2^3) =9

Therefore, our answer is: 48.

p = 48.
