Show work

Solve for p.

p = 26.585

p = 21.985

p = 12.785

p = 8.185

Answer 1

p = 21.985 for K12

Answer 2

Second option

Explanation:

Given the following equation:


`(p-4.6)/(5.7) =(6.1)/(2)`

In order to find the answer, we have to simplify and isolate the variable, then add the decimals to solve for p.


`(p-4.6)/(5.7) =(6.1)/(2)`

`(5.7(p-4.6))/(5.7) =(6.1* 5.7)/(2)`

`p-4.6=17.385`

`p-4.6+4.6=17.385+4.6`

`17.385+4.6=21.985`

`p=21.985`

Hope this helps.
