Question 592383


{{{4+3p=2+5(1-p)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4+3p=2+5-5p}}} Distribute.



{{{4+3p=-5p+7}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{3p=-5p+7-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{3p+5p=7-4}}} Add {{{5p}}} to both sides.



{{{8p=7-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{8p=3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{p=(3)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{8}}} to isolate {{{p}}}.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{p=3/8}}} which in decimal form is {{{p=0.375}}}.
