Check p = 2.1 Substitute 2.1 into original problem. 4.5 + 2p = 8.7 4.5 + 2(2.1) = 8.7 4.5 + 4.2 = 8.7 8.7 = 8.7 yes.
Solve the Equation. Check your solution. 100 = 20 – 5p #14 100 = 20 – 5p Original problem. 20 – 5p = 100 Rewrite the problem. -20 -20 Move 20 to other side. -5p = 80 Simplify. -5 -5 Move -5 to other side. p = -16 Simplify. p = -16 Final Answer. Check p = -16 Substitute -16 into original problem. 100 = 20 – 5p 100 = 20 – 5(-16) 100 = 20 – (-80) 100 = 100 yes.
Solve each formula for the specified variable. a = 3b – c ; for b.
