Question

What does p equal in 5(p-3)=63

Answer 1

Given :

• 5(p – 3) = 63

To Find :

• The value of p.

Solution :

`\qquad\sf{ { \dashrightarrow{ 5(p - 3) = 63}}}`

Using Distributive property, we get :

`\qquad\sf{ { \dashrightarrow{ 5p - 15 = 63}}}`

Now, Transposing (-15) to the right side, which then becomes positive :

`\qquad\sf{ { \dashrightarrow{ 5p = 63 + 15}}}`

`\qquad\sf{ { \dashrightarrow{ 5p = 78}}}`

Dividing 5 from both sides we get :

`\qquad\sf{ { \dashrightarrow{ (5p)/(5) = (78)/(5) }}}`

`\qquad\bf{ { \dashrightarrow{ p = 15.6 }}}`

⠀

• Therefore, the value of p = 15.6 .

Answer 2

Given Equation :-

`\qquad`
`\pink{\bf \longrightarrow 5(p-3) = 63}`

We are asked to find the value of p in the above equation.

First multiply (p-3) by 5 –

`\qquad`
`\sf \longrightarrow 5 * p - 5 * 3 = 63`

`\qquad`
`\sf \longrightarrow 5p - 15 = 63`

Now, add 15 to both sides –

`\qquad`
`\sf \longrightarrow 5p -15 +15 = 63 +15`

Now, we can cancel 15 from Left side –

`\qquad`
`\sf \longrightarrow 5p - \cancel{15 }+\cancel{15 }= 63 +15`

`\qquad`
`\sf \longrightarrow 5p = 78`

Divide both sides by 5–

`\qquad`
`\sf \longrightarrow (5p)/(5) = (78)/(5)`

Cancel 5 from left side also cancel 78/5, which can be divided by 15.6.

`\qquad`
`\sf \longrightarrow \frac{\cancel{5}p}{\cancel{5}} =\cancel{( 78)/(5)}`

`\qquad`
`\pink{\bf\longrightarrow p = 15.6}`

• Henceforth, value of p is 15.6.
