Question

Find the value of p.
8(p - 2) = – 11 = 5/8
Please tell me how is the answer 5/8

Answer 1

Answer:

8(p-2)= -11

8p-16= -11

8p= -11+16

8p=16-11

8p=5

p=5/8

Answer 2

Answer:

p = $\frac{5}{8}$ is the correct answer when 8(p-2) = -11

How?

Let's see below :

$8(p - 2) = - 11 \\ \implies 8p - 16 = - 11 \\ \implies 8p = - 11 + 16 \\ \implies 8p = 5 \\ \implies p = \frac{5}{8}$

.°. p = $\frac{5}{8}$

Hence,your expectation was correct.
