Question

How to solve this?
0.87(46.41+0.97P all over with 0.5)+0.26P=400

anonymous · Answer

multiply 0.5 both sides
  you eliminate the 0.5 in LHS

distribute 0.87 in LHS
  that would give you 0.87(46.61) <--- use the product of this lets name (product1)

subtract (product1) in both sides.
add P's together
divide by whatever coefficient you get when you combine P's

0.87(46.41+0.97P all over with 0.5)+0.26P=400
this is equal to:

0.87 ( (46.41 + 0.97P) / (0.5) ) + 0.26P = 400 <--- right?
if so, then that 100+ answer is not correct
