Question

if P / 5 - 4 = 7 value of p ​

Answer 1

Answer:

p = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

$\frac{p}{5} - 4 = 7$

Multiplying both the sides with 5,

$5 \times \frac{p}{5} - 5 \times 4 = 5 \times 7$

Further solving it,

$p - 20 = 35$

Transposing –20 to RHS,

$p = 35 + 20$

So, we get

$p = 55$

Alternative (short) method:

p/5 – 4 = 7

or, p/5 = 7 + 4 = 11

or, p = 11 × 5

So, p = 55
