What is the solution of 82.78(p+11.892)=72.8464 when solving for p ?

Answer 1

To solve for p, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the 82.78 to the terms inside the parentheses:
82.78p + 82.78(11.892) = 72.8464

Then, simplify the expression inside the second parentheses:
82.78p + 984.73896 = 72.8464

Next, subtract 984.73896 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term:
82.78p = -911.89256

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 82.78 to solve for p:
p = -911.89256 / 82.78

Thus, the solution for p is approximately -11.005.
