Answer:
p = 6.77
Explanation:
p-1.7/3.9 = 5.2/4
First, you divide the numbers:
p-1.7/3.9 = 1.3
Then multiply all of the terms by the same value. That way you can eliminate the fraction denominators:
(39) p-1.7/39/10 = (39)(1.3)
Cancel out the multiplied terms that are in the denominator:
10 (p-1.7) = (39)(1.3)
Use the distrubutive property:
10p - 17 = (39)(1.3)
Multiply:
10p - 17 = 50.7
Add 17 to both sides:
10p - 17 + 17 = 50.7 + 17
Simplify:
10p = 67.7
Then divide both sides of the equation by the same term:
10p/10 = 67.7/10
Simplify by cancelling out the terms that are in both the numerator and denominator then divide the numbers:
p = 6.77
Ta-daaaa (random but I saw someone with a Gorou pfp answering this too lol)
