Question

1/4-5/8n is equivalent to p(2-5n)​

Answer 1

1/4 - 5/8n = p (2-5n)

Answer 2

Hey there!

The answer is
`(-3)/(8)n=2p-5np`

Since they are equivalent to each other, we will set them equal to each other, because equivalent means equal to.

`(1)/(4)n-(5)/(8)n = p(2-5n)`

Now, we will simplify it. First, we will simplify the left side by subtracting. To do this, we can make
`(1)/(4)` into
`(2)/(8)`. That gives us:

`(-3)/(8)n=p(2-5n)`

Now, we'll simplify the right side by distributing
`p`:

`(-3)/(8)n=2p-5np`

Have a super awesome day! :)
