Question

Solve the equation 28 + 24p = 36 for p.

Answer 1

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\textsf{28 + 24p = 36}$

$\textsf{24p + 28 = 36}$

$\large\textsf{SUBTRACT 28 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\textsf{24p + 28 - 28 = 36 - 28}$

$\large\textsf{CANCEL out: 28 - 28 because that gives you 0}$

$\large\textsf{KEEP: 36 - 28 because that helps solve for the p-value}$

$\textsf{36 - 28 = \bf 8}$

$\large\textsf{NEW EQUATION: 24p = 8}$

$\large\textsf{DIVIDE 24 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{24p}{24}=\dfrac{8}{24}}$

$\large\textsf{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{\dfrac{24}{24}}\large\textsf{ because that gives you 1}$

$\large\textsf{KEEP: }\mathsf{\dfrac{8}{24}}\large\textsf{ because that helps you solve for the p-value any}\\\\\large\textsf{gives you the value of it}$

$\mathsf{p= \dfrac{8}{24}}\\\\\\\mathsf{p = \dfrac{8\div8}{24\div8}}\\\\\\\mathsf{8\div8=\bf 1}\\\\\mathsf{24\div8=\bf 3}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: }\mathsf{\bf p = \dfrac{1}{3}}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\large\textsf{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
