Solve this linear equation for p:

2.6(5.5p – 12.4) = 127.92



1. Distributive property:

2. Addition property of equality:



3. Division property of equality:

4. Solution:







14.3p – 32.24 = 127.92

14.3p – 32.24 + 32.24 = 127.92 + 32.24

14.3p = 160.16

StartFraction 14.3 p Over 14.3 EndFraction equals StartFraction 160.16 Over 14.3 EndFraction.

Answer:

[tex]2.6(5.5p - 12.4) = 127.92[/tex]

• Distributive property

[tex]14.3p - 32.24 = 127.92[/tex]

• Addition property of equality

[tex]14.3p = 127.92 + 32.24 \\ 14.3p = 160.16[/tex]

• Division property of equality

[tex] \frac{14.3p}{14.3} = \frac{160.16}{14.3} \\ \\ p = \frac{160.16}{14.3} [/tex]

Solution:

[tex]{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{ \: \: p = 11.2 \: \: }}}}[/tex]

Answer:

11.2
