Solve using reverse Pemdas.

8p + 1/3 = 17

1 answer

To solve using reverse PEMDAS, we start by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.

First, we subtract 1/3 from both sides to get rid of the fraction:

8p = 17 - 1/3

Next, we simplify the right side of the equation:

8p = 17 - 1/3
8p = 51/3 - 1/3
8p = 50/3

Now, we divide both sides by 8 to solve for p:

(8p)/8 = (50/3)/8
p = 50/24

So the solution is p = 50/24, which can be simplified to p = 25/12.
