Question

Solve the equation 7/8 p - 4 = 10 solve for p

Answer 1

i know the steps but i forgot the first step dont i add 4 both sides then do reciprocal to make 7/8 to 8/7

Answer 2

making p=14 dividing p

Answer 3

after you add 4 to both sides, you can multiply both sides by 8...

Answer 4

wait so then if i multiply both sides i would get 80

Answer 5

wait nvm 8x14

Answer 6

112

Answer 7

and what do you get on the left side

Answer 8

wouldnt it be 8x8 64

Answer 9

its (7/8) p * 8

Answer 10

wait im confused how to muiltiply that

Answer 11

i tried it didnt make sense

Answer 12

if you have 8/8... it will equal to 1... so by multiplying both sides by 8 you get to get rid of the denominator in that equation

Answer 13

if that makes 1 would i get 7/1p

Answer 14

yeah, just to clarify.. is the p on the bottom of the fraction?

Answer 15

i'm guessing that the equation was (7/8) p - 4 = 10.. then you'd add 4 to both sides and get (7/8) p = 14.. then multiply both sides by 8.. you'd get 7p = 112... and lastly to solve for p divide both sides by 7... p = 16

Answer 16

no it was 7over 8 no parrethesis
