Question

9 is subtracted from the product of p and 4, the result is 11. The value of p is

Answer 1

4p-9=11
4p=11+9=20
p=20/4=5

Answer 2

Answer:

Value of p is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to subtract x from the product of p and q, and result is r then we have to find the value of p.

Product of p and q = $p * q$

Now 9 is subtracted from above product

Then:

$(p * q) - 9$

and its result is r

$(p*q) - 9 = r$

Substituting r= 11 and q = 4

We get the value of p on solving the linear equation.

$(p*4) - 9 = 11$

Take 9 to right hand side

$(p*q) = 11 + 9$

$(p*q) = 20$

$(p*4) = 20$

Take 4 in division of right hand side

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

$p = 5$

Hence value of p is 5.
