Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5(4x + p) = w

Reorder the terms:

5(p + 4x) = w

(p * 5 + 4x * 5) = w

(5p + 20x) = w

Solving

5p + 20x = w

Solving for variable 'p'.

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-20x' to each side of the equation.

5p + 20x + -20x = w + -20x

Combine like terms: 20x + -20x = 0

5p + 0 = w + -20x

5p = w + -20x

Divide each side by '5'.

p = 0.2w + -4x

Simplifying

p = 0.2w + -4x
