Answer:

P=3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for p, we can simply substitute his answer in place of x, changing the equation to 4(-5+p)=12. Now we just have to solve it.

1. Apply the distributive property. We can do this by multiplying 4 by -5 and p. Our equation is now -20+4p=12

2. Add 20 on both sides. Since the 20 is negative, we would add it on both sides, canceling out the -20 and leaving us with the equation 4p=32.

3. Now divide 12 by 4. We want to get p alone by itself, so we divide both sides by 4, leaving us with the solution p=3.

Hope this helps! :D

You went shopping and found a pair of shoes that were $45.00 on sale for $27.50. what was the percent of decrease of the shoes?
Mandarinka [93]
Percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number....* 100
                             = (45 - 27.5) / 45.....* 100
                             = 17.5 / 45....* 100
                             = 0.3888 * 100 
                             = 38.9 % decrease <== thats rounded
