Question

What is the answer to 2701=25(p+37)

Answer 1

Hello! So for the first part, we do the distributive property by multiplying what's inside the parenthesis by the outside term. 25 * p is 25p. 25 * 37 is 925. The expression becomes 25p + 925 = 2,701. Now, let's subtract 925 from both sides. 925 - 925 cancels out. 2,701 - 925 is 1,776. Now, let's divide each side by 25 to isolate the p. 25p/25 cancels out. 1,776/25 is 71.04. Let's test this. 25 * 71.04 is 1,776. 1,776 + 925 is 2,701. 2,701 = 2,701. There. p = 71.04.
