Question

6 - 8p = 38 what is it

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of p is;

$p=-4$

Explanation:

Given the equation:

$6-8p=38$

to solve, let us subtract 6 from both sides;

$\begin{gathered} 6-6-8p=38-6 \\ -8p=32 \end{gathered}$

then we can divide both sides by the coefficient of p.

divide both sides by -8;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-8p}{-8}=\frac{32}{-8} \\ p=-4 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the value of p is;

$p=-4$
