We have the following linear equation:
[tex]2.6(5.5p - 12.4) = 127.92[/tex]
1. Distributive property:
[tex]14.3p - 32.24 = 127.92[/tex]
2. Addition property of equality:
[tex]14.3p - 32.24 + 32.24 = 127.92 + 32.4
14.3p = 160.32[/tex]
3. Division property of equality:
[tex] \frac{14.3p}{14.3} = \frac{160.32}{14.3}
[/tex]
4. Solution:
[tex]p = 11.21[/tex]
Answer:
this linear equation for p is:
[tex]p = 11.21[/tex]
