Question

10. Enter the value of p so that the expression 8(n + 2) is equivalent to (n + p)8​

Answer 1

p=2

Explanation:

8n + 16 = 8n + 8p

subtract 8n

16=8p

divide both sides by 8

p = 2

Answer 2

To find the value of p that sets the expression equal to each other:

⇒ must set both equations equal to each other, like such:

`8(n+2)=(n+p)8\\8n+16=8n+8p\\8n+16-8n=8p\\16=8p\\8p=16\\p=2`

Thus the value of p so that the expression 8(n + 2) is equivalent to (n + p)8​ is 2

Answer: 2

Hope that helps!
