Question

If w = 4 + 3p, what is the value of w when p = 5?

Answer 1

w = 19

Explanation:

w = 4 + 3p

w = 4 + (3 x 5) since p = 5

w = 4 + (15)

w = 19

Answer 2

w = 19

If the equation is w = 4 + 3p, we can substitute the 'p' for five.

• w = 4 + (3 × 5)

To solve for w, we need to first solve 3 times 5.

• 3 × 5 = 15

• w = 4 + 15

Now, just solve.

• w = 19

Therefore if p = 5, w = 19.
