Question

1. -3.8 - 13.4p = -460.606

Explanation:

Step1: Add 3.8 to both sides

To isolate the term with \( p \), we add 3.8 to both sides of the equation \(-3.8 - 13.4p = -460.606\). This gives us \(-13.4p = -460.606 + 3.8\).

Step2: Calculate the right - hand side

First, calculate \(-460.606+3.8=-456.806\). So the equation becomes \(-13.4p=-456.806\).

Step3: Solve for p

Divide both sides of the equation \(-13.4p = - 456.806\) by \(-13.4\). Using the formula \(p=\frac{-456.806}{-13.4}\), we can calculate the value of \(p\).
\(p=\frac{456.806}{13.4}\)
\(p = 34.1\) (after performing the division: \(456.806\div13.4 = 34.1\))

Answer:

\(p = 34.1\)
