Question

What is the solution to 5p - 20 = 35

Answer 1

p = 11

Add 20 to both sides to get 5p = 55.

Then divide by 5 to get 'p' by itself.

55 / 5 = 11.

Answer 2

Our current equation is:
5p - 20 = 35.
To solve for P, we need to get 5P by itself and then simplify if possible.
5p is not by itself yet.
Add 20 to both sides.
5p = 55.
Now to solve for p, since 5 is being multiplied by p, we need to do the opposite.
Divide both sides by 5.
p = 11 is your solution.
I hope this helps!
