jhannybean · Answer

evaluate for p, $$33=p-6.71$$$$33+6.71 = p-6.71+6.71$$

anonymous · Answer

i need help figuring out how to find what p means
i am very confused...

jhannybean · Answer

p is a variable, just like x or y,according to this equation

anonymous · Answer

so do i add 33 to 6.71 to get p?

kenljw · Answer

If 33=p^-6.71
log(p) = -log(33)/6.71
p=10^-log(33)/6.7)

@KenLJW  I'm not sure if this person has learned what logarithmic functions are yet..... maybe.

anonymous · Answer

so that would make p = 39.71

I've assume the question as stated was to simple, the result only requires basic math and minimum rudiments of algebra

jhannybean · Answer

Some people are beginning to learn math? :P

On this supposedly College level? or are the Algebra courses here HS level? Is there a course for College algebra, or are they all preparatory?
