Answer 2

Answer:

p = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

$\frac{p}{8} +\frac{p}{4} +\frac{p}{12} = 22\\\\\frac{1}{8} p + \frac{1}{4}p +\frac{1}{12}p\\\\(\frac{1}{8} p + \frac{1}{4}p +\frac{1}{12}p)=22\\\\\frac{11}{24}p=22$

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 24/11.

$(*\frac{24}{11}) (\frac{11}{24}p) = \frac{24}{11} *(22)$

⇒ p = 48
