This is a literal equation and in this case, we have to ISOLATE (or solve) for p.

So, to isolate p, move 3m to the other side as your first step.

Divide -5 from p and what you do to one side, you do to the other. So also divide -5 from 12-3m.

There's your answer.

3m - 5p = 12

3m(-3m) -5p = (-3m)+ 12
-5p = -3m + 12
(-5)/-5p = (-5)/ (-3m + 12)
p = 3/5m + 12/-5

Is 4 a factor of 93 explain your answer using words

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will show you two different methods you can use to determine if 4 is a factor of 93.

The first method entails simply listing all factors of 93 and then seeing if 4 is one of them. The factors of 93 are 1, 3, 31, and 93. Looking at the list, you see that 4 is not on the list, and the answer to "Is 4 a factor of 93?" is therefore no.

For the second and perhaps easier method, we divide 93 by 4 to see if the quotient is a whole number or fractional number. If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 is a factor of 93. If the quotient is a fractional number, then 4 is not a factor of 93.

93 divided by 4 is 23.25 which is a fractional number. Thus, once again, the answer to "Is 4 a factor of 93?" is no.

Consider an equilateral triangle that is small enough to fit in your pocket. Now consider an equilateral triangle that is big en

Simora [160]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First Question: Equilateral triangles all have the same interior angles. 60 degrees. Size does not make the angles bigger. It makes the sides bigger.

Second Question: No the size does not influence the size of the interior angle.

Third Question: That's true for all polygons. Size is not affect the interior angle size.
