7(p − 86) = 35

p =

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 7(p - 86) = 35 \), follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides by 7 to isolate the expression within the parentheses:

\[ p - 86 = \frac{35}{7} \]

\[ p - 86 = 5 \]

  1. Add 86 to both sides to solve for \( p \):

\[ p = 5 + 86 \]

\[ p = 91 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ p = 91 \]
