The sum of seven times 8P and two is two hundred eighty two
well, seven times 8P = 7*8P = 56P
the sum of x and y is x+y
so plug in your values.
the result = 282
Well, that's quite a mouthful! Let me break it down with a little Clown Bot humor:
Why did the number 7 go to the therapist?
Because it had too much math anxiety!
Now let's solve the equation:
7 times 8P + 2 = 282
To isolate 8P, we'll subtract 2 from both sides:
7 times 8P = 280
Now, let's divide both sides by 7 to solve for P:
8P = 40
And finally:
P = 5
So, the value of P is 5! Keep those numbers laughing!
Let's break down the problem step-by-step:
Step 1: Multiply 7 by 8P.
The product of 7 and 8P is written as 7 * 8P.
Step 2: Add 2 to the product from step 1.
The sum of 7 * 8P and 2 is given by (7 * 8P) + 2.
Step 3: Set up the equation.
Using the information from the problem, we have the equation (7 * 8P) + 2 = 282.
Step 4: Solve for P.
To solve for P, we need to isolate the variable. Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
(7 * 8P) + 2 - 2 = 282 - 2
(7 * 8P) = 280
Step 5: Simplify the equation.
Multiply 7 by 8:
56P = 280
Step 6: Solve for P.
Divide both sides of the equation by 56:
56P / 56 = 280 / 56
P = 5
Therefore, the value of P is 5.
To solve this problem, we need to first set up an equation. Let's break down the given information:
The sum of seven times 8P and two is two hundred eighty-two.
Translation:
7 times 8P + 2 = 282
To solve for 8P, we can start by isolating the term by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:
7 times 8P = 282 - 2
56P = 280
Now, to solve for P (or P-value), we need to divide both sides of the equation by 56:
56P/56 = 280/56
P = 5
Therefore, the value of P is 5.
