Question

Represent the value of p in the form x/p = 1 given the equation x/- 5/16

Answer 1

To represent the value of \( p \) in the form \( \frac{x}{p} = 1 \) given the equation \( x = -\frac{5}{16} \), we can manipulate the equation as follows:

1. Starting with the equation given:
\[
x = -\frac{5}{16}
\]

2. We want to represent this in the form \( \frac{x}{p} = 1 \). First, let's set \( \frac{x}{p} = 1 \):
\[
x = p
\]

3. Since we know that \( x = -\frac{5}{16} \), we can equate:
\[
p = -\frac{5}{16}
\]

Therefore, in order to satisfy the equation \( \frac{x}{p} = 1 \), the value of \( p \) is:
\[
p = -\frac{5}{16}
\]
