Question

SHOW YOUR WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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. (3 points)

Answer 1

4(p-7)=44

4*p= 4p
4*-7=-28
4p—28=44
4p=44+28=72
4p=72
P=72/4
P=18

Answer 2

Explanation:

I know that 44÷4=11. So that means P must be 11. But since it's subtracted by 7 we must solve 11+7. Which is 18. So P=18.
