The value of p from the given linear expression is -6
Solving linear equations
Linear equations are equations that has a linear degree of 1. For instance the expression y =mx + b has a linear degree of 1.
Given the linear expression below:
P÷2-4p÷3=5
Applying the PEMDAS rule, the division will go first
(P÷2)-(4p÷3)=5
This can also be expressed as:
p/2-4p/3 = 5
Find the Lowest Common Denominator
p/2-4p/3 = 5
3p-2(4p)/6 = 5
(3p-8p)/6 = 5
-5p/6 =5
Cross multiply to have:
-5p = 5(6)
-5p = 30
Divide both sides by -5
-5p/-5 = 30/-5
p = -6
Hence the value of p from the given linear expression is -6
