Baylee Curtis · Answer 1

B. 16.50

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (p - 4) = 25

2p - 8 = 25

2p = 25 + 8

2p = 33

dividing the equation by 2

p = 16.50

Cornelius Jarvis · Answer 2

Answer: B. 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (p-4) = 25.

-Divide both sides by 2 to make the expression simple.

- you are left with:

P-4=12.5.

- to make the unknown value (P) subject of the expression, we take 4 to the other side of the expression and that makes it positive.

- P = 12.5+4

P=16.5 (Ans)
