Question

10 = 43 – |17p + 12|

Answer 1

10=43–|17p+12|

You won't use the absolute sign here. Since you cannot add variable to number AND there are no negatives.

10=43–|17p+12|

10=43–17p+12

Add 12 to 43.

10=43–17p+12

10=55-17p

Add 17p on both sides.

10=55-17p

17p+10=55

Subtract 10 from both sides.

17p+10=55

17p=45.

Therefore, the answer is p=2.64705882353.

Answer 2

Answer:

1.24

Step-by-step explanation:

10=43 - |17p +12|

-43 =-43

-33 = - |17p +12|

-33/- = - |17p +12|/-

33= |17p +12|

-12 =-12

21=17p

21/17=17/17p

1.24 =p
