Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation 4=5(p-2)4=5(p−2)

To find : Solve the equation?

Solution :

Step 1 - Write the equation,

4=5(p-2)4=5(p−2)

Step 2 - Apply distributive property, a(b+c)=ab+aca(b+c)=ab+ac

4=5p-104=5p−10

Step 3 - Add 10 both side,

4+10=5p-10+104+10=5p−10+10

14=5p14=5p

Step 4 - Divide 5 both side,

\frac{14}{5}=\frac{5p}{5}
