We are solving for \"p\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation: 4*sqrt(2p) + 1 = 24
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "4*sqrt(2p) = 24 - 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4*sqrt(2p) = 23
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%282p%29+=+23%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2p = $\"%2823%2F4%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2p = $\"%28529%2F16%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "p = $\"%28529%2F32%29\"$
