Question

What is the value of p in the equation below?
19 = 4p - 5

Answer 1

Answer: p equals 6

Explanation:

4p - 5 = 19

Make p the subject of the equation

4p = 19 + 5

4p = 24

Divide both sides by 4

p = 24/4

p = 6

Answer 2

Answer: +6

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for p, we first isolate the term containing p which in this problem is 4p.

Since 5 is being subtracted from 4p, we add 5 to both sides of the equation.

That gives us 24 = 4p.

Now just divide both sides by 4 and 6 = p.

So the value of p in this equation is +6.
