Question

solve the equation : 4 = 5 (p-2)

Answer 1

answer- 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

4=5p-10

4+10=5p

14=5p

P=14/5

P=2.8

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{P=\frac{14}{5},P=2.8 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to isolate it by the p on one side of the equation. Remember to solve this problem, subtraction property of equality is subtracting both sides of an equation by the same number doesn't change the equation.

First, switch sides.

$\displaystyle 5(p-2)=4$

Next, divide by 5 from both sides.

$\displaystyle \frac{5(p-2)}{5}=\frac{4}{5}$

Solve.

$\displaystyle p-2=\frac{4}{5}$

Then, add 2 from both sides.

$\displaystyle p-2+2=\frac{4}{5}+2$

Solve.

$\displaystyle 2*5+4=\boxed{14}$

$\large\bigstar\boxed{\textnormal{Therefore, the correct answer is \boxed{P=\frac{14}{5},P=2.8 }}}}\bigstar$
