82.78(p+ 11.982)=72.8464 do not round your answer

Answer 1

82.78(p + 11.982) = 72.8464

First, distribute the 82.78:
82.78p + 82.78(11.982) = 72.8464

Next, multiply:
82.78p + 992.99716 = 72.8464

Now, subtract 992.99716 from both sides to isolate p:
82.78p = 72.8464 - 992.99716
82.78p = -920.15076

Finally, divide both sides by 82.78:
p = (-920.15076) / 82.78

Therefore, p is approximately -11.0977.
