Question

Solve for p: 16p + 24 = 48

Answer 1

3/2

Explanation:

First move 24 to the other side. Therefore, you subtract 24 from 48 (48-24). You’re left with 16p= 48-24. That is 16p=24. Now we are trying to find p so we’re going to divide both sides by the coefficient of p which is 16. So, p= 24/16. Both 24 and 16 are multiples of 8 so you can simplify to p=3/2. Hope you understand!

Answer 2

hi

16p +24 = 48

16p = 48-24

16p = 24

p = 24/16

P = 8*3 /8*2

p = 3/2
