Question

solve for p.
$p + 70 = 888$
$p = \square$
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 70 from both sides

To solve for \( p \), we need to isolate \( p \). We can do this by subtracting 70 from both sides of the equation \( p + 70 = 888 \).
\[
p + 70 - 70 = 888 - 70
\]

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying the left side, \( p + 70 - 70 \) becomes \( p \). Simplifying the right side, \( 888 - 70 = 818 \).
\[
p = 818
\]

Answer:

\( p = 818 \)
