Please a simple answer THE CORRECT ANSWER
p = -10.711779785331945
For real what’s the answer I know it ain’t that long
Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is:
p = -10.712
To solve for p in the equation 82.78(p + 11.892) = 72.8464, we can follow the steps below:
1. Distribute the 82.78 to the terms inside the parentheses:
82.78p + (82.78 * 11.892) = 72.8464
2. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
82.78p + 979.82136 = 72.8464
3. Move the constant term (979.82136) to the right side by subtracting it from both sides of the equation:
82.78p = 72.8464 - 979.82136
4. Simplify the right side of the equation:
82.78p = -906.97496
5. Divide both sides of the equation by 82.78 to isolate p:
p = (-906.97496) / 82.78
Finally, solving the division:
p = -10.95208882
Therefore, the solution for p in the given equation is p = -10.95208882.
