Answer 2

p = 11.2

Explanation:

Given equation is :

2.6(5.5p – 12.4) = 127.92

Using the distributive property :

14.3p - 32.24 = 127.92

Using addition property :

14.3p - 32.24 + 32.24= 127.92 + 32.24 (adding 32.24 to the both sides)

14.3p = 160.16

Using division property :

`p=(160.16)/(14.3)\\\\p=11.2`

So, the value of p is 11.2
