Question

Given p = 3k + 8, express k in terms of p.

Answer 1

Answer:

  k = (p -8)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for k, we undo what is done to it.

  p = 3k +8 . . . . . given

  p -8 = 3k . . . . . . subtract the added constant

  (p -8)/3 = k . . . . . divide by the multiplier

The desired expression is ...

  k = (p -8)/3
