Question

Solve this linear equation for p. 2.6(5.5p – 12.4) = 127.92

Answer 1

Answer:

p= 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

2.6(5.5p-12.4)=127.92

(5.5p-12.4)=127.92 / 2.6

5.5p-12.4=49.2

5.5p=49.2+12.4

5.5p=61.6

p= 61.6 / 5.5

p= 11.2

Answer 2

Answer:

2.6×5.5p-2.6×12.4=127.92

14.3p - 32.25=127.92

14.3 p = 127.92+ 32.25

p =160.17÷ 14.3

p= 11.2006

p = 11.20(approx)
