Question

Given that 16px + 10q + 10px = 78x + 60. Find the value of P.

Answer 1

p = (39x +30 -5q)/13x

Explanation:

16px + 10q + 10px = 78x + 60

Solve for p.

Subtract 10 q from each side.

16px + 10q-10q + 10px = 78x + 60 -10q

16px + 10px = 78x + 60-10q

Combine like terms.

26px = 78x + 60-10q

Factor out p.

p(26x) = 78x + 60-10q

Divide each side by 26x.

p = (78x + 60-10q)/(26x)

Simplify.

p = (39x +30 -5q)/13x
