Question

6p=p+25

find the value of p

Answer 1

p = 5

Explanation:

6p=p+25

6p (-p) = p+25 (-p)

5p = 25

(5p)/5 = 25/5

p = 5

Answer 2

p = 5

Explanation:

given

6p = p + 25 ( subtract p from both sides )

6p - p = p - p + 25 ( simplify )

5p = 25 ( divide both sides by 5 )

`(5)/(5)` p =
`(25)/(5)` , that is

p = 5
