What is the value of p in the equation 8p+2=4p-10

first try to isolate p by subtracting 4 p from both sides. You should then have

4p+2=-10

then subtract 2 from both sides to get

4p=-12

then divide each side by 4 to get

p=-3

The value of ' p ' in the equation is p = -2.

We have a equation - 8p + 2 = 4p - 10

We have to calculate the value of p for which the equation is true.

What is a linear equation in one variable?

An Equation of the form - f(x) = ax + b, such that the coefficient of x is not zero and both a and b are real in nature. The one variable linear equation consists of only one variable which is independent. f(x) is the dependent function as it varies accordingly with the values of x.

In the question, it is given to us that -

8p + 2 = 4p - 10

8p - 4p = - 10 + 2

4p = - 8

p = -2

Hence, the value of ' p ' in the equation is p = -2.
