4p = 20
the variable, p, is being multiplied by 4. How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?
Multiply both sides by 4.
The solution is x = 80.
Subtract 4 from both sides.
The solution is p = 16.
Add 4 to both sides. The solution is p = 24.
Divide both sides by 4. The solution is p = 5.
