Chapter 4.4, Problem 3CYU

To determine

To calculate:To solve the equation and check the solution

Answer to Problem 3CYU

Solution is $p=12$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Equation is $8p=96$

Calculation:

Given equation is as follows:

  $8p=96$

On solving the equation,

  $\begin{array}{l}p=\frac{96}{8}\\ p=12\end{array}$

Now, in order to check the solution, substitute $p=12$ in equation $8p=96$

Left hand side of equation is solved as follows:

  $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 8\left(12\right)\\ \Rightarrow 96\end{array}$

Since, Left hand side of equation is equal to right hand side

Thus, $p=12$ is solution of equation $8p=96$

Conclusion:

Hence,solution is $p=12$
