Answer 2

Answer:

Simplifying

2.6(5.5p + -12.4) = 127.92

Reorder the terms:

2.6(-12.4 + 5.5p) = 127.92

(-12.4 * 2.6 + 5.5p * 2.6) = 127.92

(-32.24 + 14.3p) = 127.92

Solving

-32.24 + 14.3p = 127.92

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '32.24' to each side of the equation.

-32.24 + 32.24 + 14.3p = 127.92 + 32.24

Combine like terms: -32.24 + 32.24 = 0.00

0.00 + 14.3p = 127.92 + 32.24

14.3p = 127.92 + 32.24

Combine like terms: 127.92 + 32.24 = 160.16

14.3p = 160.16

Divide each side by '14.3'.

p = 11.2

Simplifying

p = 11.2
