What is the solution of 82.78 (p+11.892)=72.8464 when solving for p? Do not round your answer.

Answer 1

To solve for p, we need to isolate the variable. So we'll start by distributing 82.78 to p and 11.892:

82.78(p + 11.892) = 72.8464

Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 82.78:

82.78p + 82.78(11.892) = 72.8464

Now simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

82.78p + 982.36896 = 72.8464

Next, subtract 982.36896 from both sides of the equation:

82.78p = 72.8464 - 982.36896

Combining like terms:

82.78p = -909.52256

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 82.78 to solve for p:

p = (-909.52256) / (82.78)

The solution is p = -10.9766422523463
