Question

1/4-5/8n is equivalent to p(2-5n)​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4 - 5/8n = p (2-5n)

Answer 2

Hey there!

The answer is $\frac{-3}{8}n=2p-5np$

Since they are equivalent to each other, we will set them equal to each other, because equivalent means equal to.

$\frac{1}{4}n-\frac{5}{8}n = p(2-5n)$

Now, we will simplify it. First, we will simplify the left side by subtracting. To do this, we can make $\frac{1}{4}$ into $\frac{2}{8}$. That gives us:

$\frac{-3}{8}n=p(2-5n)$

Now, we'll simplify the right side by distributing $p$:

$\frac{-3}{8}n=2p-5np$

Have a super awesome day! :)
