Is p = 48 a solution to this equation?

Question

p
4
= 12
Yes or no

Answer 1

To determine if \( p = 48 \) is a solution to the equation

\[ \frac{p}{4} = 12, \]

we can substitute \( p \) with 48 and see if the equation holds true:

\[ \frac{48}{4} = 12. \]

Calculating the left side:

\[ \frac{48}{4} = 12. \]

Since both sides of the equation are equal, the answer is:

Yes, \( p = 48 \) is a solution to the equation.
