Question

How do you solve `\frac { p } { 4} - 7= - 6`?

Answer 1

`p=4`

Explanation:

Begin by adding `7` to both sides:

`p/4cancel(-7color(red)(+7))=-6color(red)(+7`

`p/4=1`

Multiply `4` to both sides:

`cancelcolor(red)4*p/cancel4=1*color(red)4`

`p=4`

Answer 2

`p=4`

Explanation:

Given -

`p/4-7=-6`
Add `+7` to both sides
`p/4-7+7=-6+7`
`p/4cancel(-7) cancel(+7)=1`
`p/4=1`
Multiply both sides by `4`
`p/4 xx 4= 1xx4`
`p/cancel4 xx cancel4= 4`
`p=4`
