Answer 1

Answer: p=43/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for p, you would cross multiply.

$8(p-8)=108$                 [distribute the 8]

$8p-64=108$                  [add 64 on both sides]

$8p=172$                          [divide both sides by 8]

$p=\frac{172}{8}$                        [simplify the fraction]

$p=\frac{43}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

p =43/2

Step-by-step explanation:

8/9 = 12/(p-8)

We can use cross products

8 * (p-8) = 9*12

Distribute

8p - 64 = 108

Add 64 to each side

8p -64+64 = 108+64

8p =172

Divide by 8

8p/8 =172 /8

p =43/2
