The equation 5p + 3 = 15 can be used to find Mgbafor's age when Okeke's age is five times Mgbafor's age and in three years time, Okeke will be 15 years old.
The equation 5p + 3 = 15 is a linear equation. The equation must represent a variable which when multiplied by 5 and 3 is added yields 15.
Lets assume that Okeke's age is five times Mgbafor's age In three years time, Okeke will be 15 years old. If i am asked to find Mgbafor's age, the equation to use is 5p + 3 = 15, where p = Mgbafor's age.
