Answer 1

P = 201.

Explanation:

In mathematics, distributivity is a property of binary operations in which the multiplication is distributed, dividing the same multiplier by the different multipliers to obtain the result.

Thus, to solve the equation -4 (P - 212) = 44 the following calculation must be performed:

-4 (P - 212) = 44

(-4 x P) - (-4 x 212) = 44

-4P - (-848) = 44

-4P + 848 = 44

-4P = 44 - 848

-4P = -804

P = -804 / -4

P = 201
