Question 4 (1 point)

2(p+1) = 24

Question 4 options:

p= 11


p= 11.5


p= 12.5


p= 13

Answer 1

2(p+1)=24 simplifies to 2p+2=24
24-2=22
so now we have 2p=22
divide on both sides to isolate the variable
22/2=11
2p/2=p
the answer is p=11

Answer 2

p=11

Explanation:

1 + 11 = 12

12 × 2 = 24

so the answer is p=11
