Question

Solve the equation p - 4 = 10 for p. Please show your work and solution in the space provided.
How the heck....

Answer 1

p -4 = 10

10 + 4 = p

14 = p

Answer 2

7/8*p-4=10 sorry didnt write it out properly.

Answer 3

7/8p - 4 = 10

7/8p = 10 + 4

7/8p = 14

7/8p / (7/8) = 14 / (7/8)

p = 16

Answer 4

i find it easier turning the fractions into numbers and then working it out

so 7/8 = 0.875

so the equation would be 0.875p - 4 = 10

and then you rearrange it bringing 4 to the other side (remember it wil change its value e.g. -4 bringint it to the other side will give you + 4)

0.875p = 14

and now to get p on its own you need to divide by the number next to it and you also divide the other side by the same value so you would get

0.875p / 0.875 = 14 / 0.875

which gives you

p = 16
