Question

What is the value of p in the equation? One-fourth (8 minus 4 p) + 2 p = 12

Answer 1

P is equal to 10

How to get your answer:

So 1/4(8-4p) + 2p = 12

First you need to distributive by multiplying 1/4 to each term like this:

2 - p + 2p =12

Then you have to combine to terms just as I did below:

2 + p = 12

Then you need to subtract 2 from both sides to get 10 so:

P = 10

Answer 2

1/4(8-4p) + 2p = 12

Use distributive property by multiplying 1/4 by each term inside parentheses:

2 - p + 2p =12

Combine like terms:

2 + p = 12

Subtract 2 from both sides:

P = 10
