Question

If (82)p = 84, what is the value of p? 2 3 4 6

Answer 1

Alright, so in order to solve this, we need to isolate the variable. So, we need to simplify the equation. So, we have the equation:
82•P = 84
So, we need to divide both sides by 82 because it is the opposite of multiplication. So, we have :
82•P/82 = 84/82
So, 82•P/82 = 1p = P.
84/82 = P
If You Need Decimal Form, 
84/82 = About 1.02
