Do you want to solve for c?



4p%2B2c=80 Start with the given equation


2c=80-4p Subtract 4+p from both sides


2c=-4p%2B80 Rearrange the equation


c=%28-4p%2B80%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2


c=%28-4%2F2%29p%2B%2880%29%2F%282%29 Break up the fraction


c=-2p%2B40 Reduce

Or...

Do you want to solve for p?




4p%2B2c=80 Start with the given equation


4p=80-2c Subtract 2c from both sides


4p=-2c%2B80 Rearrange the equation


p=%28-2c%2B80%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4


p=%28-2%2F4%29c%2B%2880%29%2F%284%29 Break up the fraction


p=-%281%2F2%29c%2B20 Reduce
