Solve this linear equation for p.

2.6 (5.5p - 12.4) = 127.92

1. Distributive property: 14.3p - 32.24 = 127.92

2. Addition property of equality: 14.3p - 32.24 + 32.24 = 127.92 + 32.24

14.3p = 160.16

3. Division property of equality:

14.3p

14.3

=

160.16

14.3

4. Solution: p =

Answer: 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

as you see the equation uses distributive property and addition property.

distributive property: 14.3 - 32.24 = 127.92

addition property : 14.3p - 32.24 + 32.24 = 127.92 + 32.24 ... 14.3p = 160.16

Division property of equality: 14.3p ... 14.3 = 160.16/14.3

solution: p = 11.2

11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 160 by 14.3
