Question

Solve the equation using the addition property of equality.
p – 1 = 4

Answer 1

p -1= 4
⇒ p= 4+ 1 (inverse operation)
⇒ p= 5

Final answer: p= 5.

Answer 2

If you would like to solve the equation p - 1 = 4, you can calculate this using the following steps:

p - 1 = 4 /+1
p - 1 + 1 = 4 + 1
p + 0 = 5
p = 5

The correct result would be 5.
