Question 50092
Solve for p:
{{{26.54-p = 0.5(50-p)}}} I would first expand the right side using the distributive property.
{{{26.54-p = 25-0.5p}}} Then I would add p to both sides of the equation.
{{{26.54 = 25+0.5p}}} Then subtract 25 from both sides.
{{{1.54 = 0.5p}}} Finally, multiply both sides by 2.
{{{3.08 = p}}}

Solution is: p = 3.08
