<em>You can use inverse operation to answer this equation.</em>
<em>write out you problem: 4 x p =8</em>
<em>The inverse of multiplication is division</em>
<em>you do 4/4 which gives you one but the 4 will cancel itself out</em>
<em>Do 8/4 which gives you 2</em>
<em>under the equation write p = 2</em>
<em>And be sure to line the p up with the p, the equal sign with the equal sign, and the 2 stays where it is ( which should be already lined up with the 8)</em>
