Answer 1

x = 15

p

x = -3

Explanation:

given equation: 4(px + 1) = 64

find

value of x in terms of p

let p = -5

4 (px + 1) = 64

4px + 4 = 64

x = 64 - 4

4p

x = 15

p

plugin the given value of p = -5

x = 15

-5

x = -3

Answer 2

• x = 15/p
• x = -3

Explanation:

Given

• 4(px + 1)=64

Find

• Solve for x
• Find x when p = -5

Solution

• 4(px + 1) = 64
• 4(px + 1)/4 = 64/4
• px + 1 = 16
• px = 15
• x = 15/p

When p = -5, substitute p:

• x = 15/p
• x = 15/(-5) = -3
