Question

You are using the equation 4(p – 7) = 44 to determine how many pictures can be saved at one time to the photo stream on your cell phone. Describe the operations in the order that you will perform them to solve the equation.

(i have the solution, but i don't really understand the question, it feel like i need some explanation or something.....i don't know. Cause it ask me "what is p" on next question so i don't really understand what should i do on this question.....please help...)

Answer 1

p = 18

Explanation:

4(p-7) = 44

The operations in order are to distribute first, 4p - 28 = 44

Isolate the variable, 4p = 72

and divide for the answer, p = 18

P stands for pictures, the number of pictures that can be saved to your photo stream at once is 18.
