what is the answer and how do you work this algebraic equation out???

Question

5+7p=19

Answer 1

if you are trying to find out what p equals you use reverse operations so :
5+7p=19
then: 7p=14 (i did 19-5)
then: p=2 (i did 14 divided by 7)

hope this helps

Answer 2

I was taught that change the side-change the sign,so
5+7p=19
7p=19-5 move the 5 to other side becomes -5
7p=14
p=14 divided by 7
p=2.

or the other way
5+7p=19
5-19=-7p note-two terms have changed sides and sign
-14=-7p
-14 divided by 2=-7p
-2=-p changing sides and sign again
p=2

Answer 3

5+7p = 19
Take 5 from each side so that you are just left with a multiple of p
7p = 14
Divide each side by 7 so that you have the value of p
p = 2

Answer 4

What is "P"
5 + (7XP)=19
19 - 5 = 14 (7 X P ) = 14
14 / 7 = 2
P = 2

Answer 5

Think of it as 5+ (something)=19
5 + 14 = 19
So this says that 7x = 14

7x means 7 lots of x so you can surely work it out from here!

Hope this helps!
