Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

-4=5(p-2)

-4=5p-10

10-4=5p

6=5p

6/5=p

1.12=p

Answer 2

Answer:

=> $p=\frac{6}{5}$

Explanation:

Given that:-

$-4=5 (p-2)$

To find:- The value of $p$,

For that, recall the BODMAS rule.

While transposing a number from one side of the equation to the other side, the sign of the numbers has to be changed as follows-

(I) $+\Rightarrow-$

(II) $\times \Rightarrow \div$

(III) $-\Rightarrow+$

(IV) $\div \Rightarrow \times$

As we have,

=> $-4=5 (p-2)$

Multiply $5$ with bracket term:

=> $-4=5 p-10$

Add both sides by $10$, we get

=> $- 4 + 1 0 = 5 p- 1 0 + 1 0$

=> $6=5p$

Divide both sides by $5$, we get

=> $\frac{6}{5}=p$

Hence, the required solution is $\frac{6}{5}.$
