Simplifying
P + -21 + -21 = 34 + -21
-21 + -21 + P = 34 + -21
Combine like terms: -21 + -21 = -42
-42 + P = 34 + -21
Combine like terms: 34 + -21 = 13
-42 + P = 13
Solving
-42 + P = 13
Solving for variable 'P'.
Move all terms containing P to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '42' to each side of the equation.
-42 + 42 + P = 13 + 42
Combine like terms: -42 + 42 = 0
0 + P = 13 + 42
P = 13 + 42
Combine like terms: 13 + 42 = 55
P = 55
Simplifying
P = 55
No because since multiplying by 10³ is multiplying by 10 times 10 times 10 which equals 1000 and multiplying by 10 factors of 3 is multiplying by 3 times 3 times 3 times 3…….for 10 times equals 59049
The answer to the question is 0.048
