Question

What is p/20=(p-4)/5?

Answer 1

Answer:

p = $\frac{16}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{p}{20}$ = $\frac{p-4}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

20(p - 4) = 5p ← distribute left side

20p - 80 = 5p ( subtract 5p from both sides )

15p - 80 = 0 ( add 80 to both sides )

15p = 80 ( divide both sides by 15 )

p = $\frac{80}{15}$ = $\frac{16}{3}$
