First, we can simplify the left side. (6+8x)/2 is equal to 3 + 4x. We can put the equation together at this point.
3 + 4x = 5x
we can subtract 4x from both sides to get our final answer,
3 = x, or x = 3. :)
The answer is -3 and 4. (-3)•4=-12 and -3+4=1
My answer that I got was $500.00
We cannot solve for a numerical value of p, but rather set the equation equal to p.
w = 4/(p+2)
(Multiply both sides by the denominator)
w(p+2) = 4
(divide both sides by w)
p+2 = 4/w
(Subtract 2 from both sides) (also 2/1)
p = (4-2)/w
p = 2/w
