Question

5. If 4p=-20+8p,then the value of p is_____.​

Answer 1

4p = -20 + 8p

=> 4p - 8p = -20

=> -4p = -20

=> 4p = 20

=> p = 20/4 = 5

Answer 2

Hi there !

Question :- If 4p = -20+8p, then the value of p is ______.

Answer :-

The Linear Equation is Given here. Apply Transposition Method to get your answer!

Transposition :- It is used to move the same kind of variables at a same place.

So,

$4p \: = - 20 + 8p$

Then, We will take 8p to LHS.

So,

$4p - 8p = - 20$

We will subtract 4 from 8 and we will put the sign.

$- 4p = - 20$

We will take -4 to the RHS.

$p = \frac{ - 20}{ - 4}$

Minus will get cancelled.

$p = \frac{20}{4}$

Divide 20 by 4.

$p = 5$

Hence, Value Of P is 5.
