Question

Rewrite the equation x = 65 - 60p by factoring the side that contains the variable p.

Answer 1

Answer: $x=5(13-12p)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: $x=65-60p$

$\\\Rightarrowx=(5\times13)-(5\times12)p$

Since 5 is the greatest common factor of 65 and 60 in the given expression.

Therefore, the above expression can be written as

$x=5(13-12p)$

Hence, by factoring the side that contains the variable p we have the expression $x=5(13-12p)$.
