Consider the equation.
4(px+1)=64
The value of x in terms of p is ____ .
The value of x when p is −5 is____ .

Answer 1

Answer:

p 5x1 x 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\text{The value of x in terms of p is }\frac{15}{p}$

The value of x is -3 when p is -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 4(px+1)=64

we have to find the value of x in terms of p and value of x when p is -5.

4(px+1)=64

Divide throughout by 4

⇒ $px+1=\frac{64}{4}=16$

Subtracting 1 from both sides,we get

$px=16-1=15$

⇒ $x=\frac{15}{p}$

When p=-5

$x=\frac{15}{-5}=-3$

The value of x is -3 when p is -5
