Question 131106
<pre>
Please can you help me with this equation, I have tried but can't figure it out. The answer from the back of my text book says that it is T=P/.25 or T=P*4, but I have to show my work. the equation is (T+P)/T=1.25 and I need to solve for T.

{{{(T + P)/T = 1.25}}}
T + P = 1.25T ---- Cross.multiplying 
    P = 1.25T - T
    P = .25T
{{{matrix(1,11, highlight(P/.25), ",", or, P/(1/4), ",", or, P(4/1), "=", highlight(4P), "=", highlight(T))}}}</pre>
