Question

Solve for p
p - (3 divided by 3 ) = 3.4

Answer 1

To solve for \( p \) in the equation

\[
p - \left(\frac{3}{3}\right) = 3.4,
\]

let's first simplify the term \(\frac{3}{3}\):

\[
\frac{3}{3} = 1.
\]

Now, substitute this back into the equation:

\[
p - 1 = 3.4.
\]

Next, add \( 1 \) to both sides of the equation to isolate \( p \):

\[
p = 3.4 + 1.
\]

Calculating the right side gives:

\[
p = 4.4.
\]

So, the solution is

\[
\boxed{4.4}.
\]
