Question

4(PX+1)=64 what is the value of x in terms of p and what is the value of x when p is -5 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(PX+1)=64\\\\p= -5$

Substitute -5 for p in the given equation and solve

$4(-5(x)+1)=64\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4\\\frac{4\left(-5x+1\right)}{4}=\frac{64}{4}\\\\Simplify\\-5x+1=16\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\-5x+1-1=16-1\\\\Simplify\\-5x =15\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-5\\\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{15}{-5}\\\\Simplify\\x = -3$
