Solve for p

P - 4 = 36

P =

p=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

p-4=36

Our goal here is to isolate p on one side of the equal sign, and we can use the help of opposite operations to do this.

Right now, the only other value with p on the left side of the equal sign is -4. To isolate p, add +4 on both sides so -4 and +4 cancels out:

p-4+4=36+4

p=40

Therefore, p=40.

I hope this helps!
