How do you solve #p/8=13/2#?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

See the entire solution process below:

Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(8)# to solve for #p# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(8) xx p/8 = color(red)(8) xx 13/2#

#cancel(color(red)(8)) xx p/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(8))) = 104/2#

#p = 52#

To solve the equation ( \frac{p}{8} = \frac{13}{2} ), you can multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to isolate ( p ). This gives you ( p = 8 \times \frac{13}{2} ). Simplifying the right side, you get ( p = 52 ). Therefore, the solution to the equation is ( p = 52 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
