Answer:
[tex]p=\frac{8}{11}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
10p + 12p = 16
22p = 16
22p ÷ 22 = 16 ÷ 22
[tex]p=\frac{8}{11}[/tex]
Check:
10p + 12p = 16
[tex]10(\frac{8}{11})+12(\frac{8}{11})=16[/tex]
[tex]\frac{80}{11}+\frac{96}{11} =16[/tex]
[tex]\frac{80+96}{11} =16[/tex]
[tex]\frac{176}{11} =16[/tex]
