Question

How do you solve `p/8=13/2`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by `color(red)(8)` to solve for `p` while keeping the equation balanced:

`color(red)(8) xx p/8 = color(red)(8) xx 13/2`

`cancel(color(red)(8)) xx p/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(8))) = 104/2`

`p = 52`
