Answer:5
Step-by-step explanation:
2(p+8)=26
2p+16=26
subtract 16 on both sides
you get 2p=10
divide 2 on both sides and get 5
Answer:
[tex]2(p+8)=26\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1(p+8)}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=\dfrac{26\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^{13}}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\\\\p+8=13\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\\p=5[/tex]
