Question

The value of p in the equation 8p = 32 is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

8*p-(32)=0

step 1

Pull out like factors :

8p - 32 = 8 • (p - 4)

Step 2

Solve : 8 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals to zero

Solving to single variable

p-4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides of the equation :

p = 4
