Question

Considere the equation where p is a real number coefficient. Solve for X

Answer 1

As given by the question

There are given that the equation

`(1)/(4)(px-16)=64`

Now,

multiply by 4 on both sides of the equation

So,

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)(px-16)=64 \\ (1)/(4)(px-16)*4=64*4 \\ px-16=256 \end{gathered}`

Then,

Add 16 on both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} px-16=256 \\ px-16+16=256+16 \\ px=272 \\ x=(272)/(p) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the correct option is b.
