Question

Solve the following equation : 2(2p + 1) - 30% of (5p - 2) = 7.6​

Answer 1

Answer:

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2p + 1) - 30% of (5p -2) = 7.6

4p + 2 - 150p/100 + 60/100 = 7.6

4p + 2 - 3p/2 + 3/5 = 7.6

4p - 3p/2 = 7.6 - 2 -3/5

(8p - 3p)/2 = 7.6 - 2 - 0.6

5p/2 = 7.6 - 2.6

5p/2 = 5.0

5p = 10

p =10/5

p = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (2p + 1) - 30% of (5p - 2) = 7.6

4p + 2 - 150p/100 + 60/100 = 7.6

4p + 2 - 3p/2 + 3/5 = 7.6

4p - 3p/2 = 7.6 - 2 - 3/5

(8p - 3p) = 7.6 - 2 - 0.6

5p/2 = 7.6 - 2.6

5p/2 = 5.0

5p = 5 * 2

5p = 10

p = 10/5

p = 2
