Question
3. What is the value of p in the equation below?
19 = 4p-5

A. 3.5
B. 6
C. 3
D. -6

To find the value of p, isolate/get the variable "p" by itself in the equation:

19 = 4p - 5        Add 5 on both sides

19 + 5 = 4p - 5 + 5

24 = 4p        Divide 4 on both sides to get "p" by itself

6 = p        Your answer is B

PROOF

19 = 4p - 5        Substitute/plug in 6 into "p" since p = 6

19 = 4(6) - 5

19 = 24 - 5

19 = 19
