Question

4/|p|+12=14. Can you solve with the absolute value of p as a denominator?

Answer 1

Here we go,

$\frac{4}{ |p| } + 12 = 14$

Subtract 12 from both sides,

$\frac{4}{ |p| } + 12 - 12 = 14 - 12 \\ \frac{4}{ |p| } = 2$

Multiply both sides with |p|

$\frac{4}{ |p| } \times |p| = 2 \times |p | \\ 4 = 2 \times |p|$
divide both sides with 2

$\frac{4}{2} = \frac{(2 \times |p| )}{2} \\ 2 = |p|$

Therefore,

|p| equals 2.
