Hi there!
Answer:
p=400
*The answer must have a positive sign.*
Step-by-step explanation:
Lesson: Using Properties to Simplify Expressions
Distributive property: →→→[tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
First, you multiply by 10 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]0.8p*10=320*10[/tex]
Then, you refine. You can also multiply by the numbers from left to right.
[tex]8p=3200[/tex]
Next, you divide by 8 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]\frac{8p}{8}=\frac{3200}{8}[/tex]
Finally, you simplify and solve. Divide by the numbers from left to right.
[tex]3200/8=400[/tex]
Final answer is p=400
I hope this helps you!
Have a nice day! :)
