Question

How can we isolate the variable, p 6000+(-25p)=4000

Answer 1

`p=80`.

Explanation:

The given equation is

`6000+(-25p)=4000`

We have to isolate the variable p.

The given equation can be written as

`6000-25p=4000`

Subtract 6000 from both sides.

`6000-25p-6000=4000-6000`

`-25p=-2000`

Divide both sides by -25.

`(-25p)/(-25)=(-2000)/(-25)`

`p=80`

Therefore, the value of p is 80.
