Question

Step 3: Using multi-step equations to solve problems a) You are using the equation 4(p - 7) = 44 to determine how many pictures can be saved at one time to the photo stream on your cell phone. Describe the operations in the order that you will perform them to solve the equation. Describe the operations in the order that you will perform them to solve the equation.​ (no joke answer please)

Answer 1

Answer:

$4( p - 7)=44$

Divide both sides by 4:

$\implies \dfrac{4(p - 7)}{4}=\dfrac{44}{4}$

Simplify:

$\implies p - 7=11$

Add 7 to both sides:

$\implies p - 7+7=11+7$

Simplify:

$\implies p=18$

Answer 2

Answer:

p = 18

Explanation:

$\hookrightarrow \sf 4(p - 7) = 44$

$\sf change \ sides$

$\hookrightarrow \sf p-7\right}=\frac{44}{4}$

$\sf simplify$

$\hookrightarrow \sf p-7\right}= 11$

$\sf change \ sides$

$\hookrightarrow \sf p\right}= 11+7$

$\sf final \ answer$

$\hookrightarrow \sf p\right}= 18$
