Question

Solve the following equation for p:
q = 4p - 11

Answer 1

in order to solve for p u have to isolate p.
see p is not alone. it has been multiplied by 4 and 11 has been subtracted from it.
so adding 11 to 4p-11 will give u 4p.
bcos +11-11=0
4p+0=4p
if u add 11 to right side of the equation then u have to add 11 to left side too to make the equation valid.
so the left side of the equation will be
q+11.
nw u will have
q+11=4p
getting this? @BeatriceM2012

Answer 2

Ok; first we could have 4p=q+11
so now divide the sides by 4
you will have p=1/4 q +11/4

Answer 3

@ajprincess - Yeah. I get it.

Answer 4

good:)
nw u see that u have 4p on the right side. but u need to have only p. so vat do u need to do?

Answer 5

Divide each side by 4.

Answer 6

ya good:)
so vat will be the final answer?

Answer 7

1/4q + 11/4 = p

Answer 8

yup:)
